I just hit my two year mark. Guess it's time to start job hunting.
My current employer 401k contributions vest at 3.5 years- would I be out of line insisting that my 'next' employer make a one time contribution equal to what I sacrifice?
- peripitea 9y agoAbsolutely not, and I think you should. They may still say no, but it can be a valuable tool in your salary negotiation. I've done this before when switching jobs -- "you want me to start in March, but I have $X in options that vest in July; to switch I would need you to add $X to my signing bonus". Both times they've agreed to do so. Recruiters seem to generally have more leeway with signing bonuses than salaries. (And of course on top of this you should be aggressively negotiating your salary etc.)
