Is it common to negotiate PTO? Like, if the company has a "start from Zero" typical policy, is it out of the ordinary to say "Yeah um, I'd actually like two weeks of PTO as part of my offer."?
Ive never heard of that.
Both my wife and I have negotiated accrual rates, which is pretty common, but Ive never seen anyone negotiate a bank of time, and I wouldn't expect a company to agree to that. For all they know, you're going to show up, take your vacation, get paid then leave.
There is nothing wrong with going negative on PTO, its common. And given your situation any reasonable company is going to work with you if you need extra buffer down the line.
