If you’re not interested in returning to in-person work but your boss expects you to come back, or if you’re interviewing for a new job and want to work remotely, how can you negotiate your desired arrangement? Here are some tactics:
- Make clear that you can be successful by sharing the accomplishments you’ve already achieved in a remote work environment.
- Articulate how your plan would be a win-win. For example, if you feel you’re more productive and effective outside of the office, make a compelling case for how that benefits the whole company.
- Ask if there’s any other data or information you could provide to help your case.
- Be prepared to take a pay cut if you’re relocating to an area where the cost of living is significantly lower. Weigh this potential income loss against your improved quality of life.
- Know that you may not get an answer in your first conversation. Your manager may need some time to review your request with the higher-ups.
