How did you manage to negotiate that? Especially for earlier career jobs?

How did you manage to negotiate that? Especially for earlier career jobs?
- itamarst 8y agoIt's harder earlier in career, but the guy I interviewed (mentioned in separate comment) successfully did it as his first job (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer/ https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...). He was: 1. Existing employee, so he was valuable to them, and had proven he could work shorter hours since he'd been there part-time initially when he was in university. 2. Willing to quit. In fact, what actually happened is he said "I quit", they said "but we don't want you to quit" and he said "how about 4 day workweek". This is not a very reproducible method, but I've interviewed another person (for my book - https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/ https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/) who was somewhat early in his career. Again, he did it at his current job, with willingness to leave if necessary.
