Some companies won&#x27;t be willing to consider it at all - but I think you might be surprised at how many <i>would</i>. I&#x27;ve seen it happen for multiple people, even at companies where that&#x27;s the last thing you&#x27;d expect.<p>We&#x27;ve been conditioned to believe that $$ (and in our field, equity) are the only knobs that can be adjusted during negotiation. In reality the actual field of negotiable variables is much, much wider.<p>YMMV of course, and negotiating for non-cash things can often be <i>harder</i> than negotiating for more cash, but it&#x27;s eminently doable and is in fact done all the time - just poorly advertised.<p>Note: this is also why ability to negotiate for cash is and important skill. It&#x27;s often easier to negotiate for cash and then trade that cash for non-cash benefits rather than negotiating directly for what you actually want.
