Although they expressed willingness to negotiate salary, the CEO seemed offended when I offered to accept a lower salary in exchange for a more flexible vacation and sick leave option. Two accrued vacation time for a leadership position is not a great recruitment strategy. They did ask me why I was willing to take a step down from executive leadership to a Development Director position.
