<prompt> Human: Im looking at changing jobs, but the company that has made me an offer is assuming that I will start at the bottom rung of their years of service ladder for benefits like vacation and retirement matching. Is this common? The company pays a higher salary based on experience so I assumed that they would also offer the better benefits that come with experience. Is this just me and one company not seeing eye to eye, or is this how it generally works?  <response>: Everything is negotiable.
