Best way to Negotiate more Vacation time at New Job?
My wife is changing careers. She has been with her present Company for 6 yrs, and has 6 weeks vacation per year.... Her new offer is more lucrative, with the same health benefits, but starts with only two weeks Vacation...... Is negotiating for more Vacation time generally done? If so, what is the best strategy to do it?

It is not unheard of. It should be done at the final interview when the job is offerred. She shouldn't expect to get 6 weeks right off the bat, but 3 or 4 might be a possibility, with reviews and/or scheduled increases in vacation time in *writing*.

This might be cheating... but the easiest way to negotiate extra vacation is to hire a professional to help you. As a professional salary negotiator myself, I have negotiated higher salaries for over 700 people. My trick is to handle the entire thing by email. Negotiating by email improves the odds for an amateur negotiator. That’s because it takes away your employer’s ability to "read you" in person and bluff you into taking less. Over email you can carefully choose every word. And a professional like me can get you every penny you deserve without risking your job. The only rule is that you can never tell ANYONE that you had outside help. To learn more check out NegotiatingSalary com
