Negotiating perks is all about framing it as a win-win. I’d wait until they make an offer, then say something like, ‘I’m excited about the role! To set myself up for success remotely, would the company consider a home office stipend or flexible scheduling?’ Stipends - $500–$1000 and async hours are common now. Just don’t demand—ask and show you’re flexible too.
When negotiating remote work benefits, timing and tact are paramount. Post-offer, express enthusiasm for the position, then inquire about support for remote productivity, such as ergonomic equipment allowances or wellness subsidies. In 2025, stepends : $300–$1500 annually and flexible schedules are standard. Highlight how these benefits enhance your performance. Be prepared to compromise, ensuring mutual benefit.
Don’t be shy, but don’t be pushy either. I got a $750 office budget by asking after the offer, like, ‘Hey, other remote roles I’ve looked at offer stipends for equipment—any chance for that here?’ Flexible hours are easier to get than cash, tho. Research the company first; if they’re stingy, you’ll know to aim low. Good luck!!
I botched this once by asking too early, haha. Wait for the offer, then be chill: ‘Love the role, just curious if there’s room for remote work perks like a tech stipend or mental health days.’ Companies expect it now—stipends, extra vacation, or even co-working memberships are fair game. Check Glassdoor for what’s normal at that company
