Tips

• Be specific about items and a number, and connect the request to getting your work done. This framing comes from a stipend-advice guide, which also says a no is useful information and you can ask to revisit it at your next review.

• Ask whether the company has an existing policy first. Some already do, and in some states the law may apply. See Rights & tax.
• Some guides say remote stipends of roughly $500 to $2,000 per year are common at tech companies. That is that guide's claim, not a survey we can verify, so treat it as a conversation starter only.
