Directors VPs & C-Level Execs - Past 12 Months Relocation Negotiation

Have you negotiated a corporate relocation in the past 12 months? I'd love to hear what you learned. I'm working on an article about negotiating corporate relocation, and I'm looking to hear from Director-, VP-, and C-level professionals who have recently negotiated a relocation package. Relocation packages can involve much more than moving expenses. I'm interested in the details candidates may not think to ask about until they're in the middle of a move. I'd love to learn about your experience, including: The money: Was your package a lump sum, reimbursement, or company-managed relocation? Were you able to negotiate the amount? The fine print: Was there a repayment clause if you left the company within a certain period? Did you negotiate those terms? The timing: When did you first ask about relocation during the interview process? At what point did you understand exactly what was covered—and what wasn't? The family factor: Were you able to negotiate support for a spouse's career, school enrollment, temporary housing, or other family needs? The unexpected: What do you wish you'd known or negotiated before accepting the offer? I'm especially interested in the things you wouldn't necessarily find in a company's relocation policy. What worked? What surprised you? What would you do differently? I'd love to send you a few questions by email that you can answer on your own time. You can also contribute anonymously if you prefer. If you've been through this process recently and are willing to share your experience, please comment “RELOCATION” or send me a private message. I'd be grateful for your insights! I will be sharing what I learned in my newsletter (Career Briefs) And if you know someone who has recently negotiated a corporate relocation, please feel free to tag them.
