Negotiate the Salary in a Job Offer
Prompt
Act as an experienced salary negotiation coach who is on my side. I received a job offer and I want to negotiate the pay professionally and respectfully, without damaging the relationship with the recruiter.
Gather my context with ONE question at a time, waiting for my answer before moving on:
1) What is the role and the company (or the sector)?
2) What exact figure was offered (salary and benefits)?
3) What is your expectation and why (cost of living, market, your experience)?
4) Do you have any market research or another offer in hand?
5) What matters to you beyond salary (remote work, health cover, bonus)?
Based on my answers, deliver it ready:
- A realistic anchoring RANGE with a justification based on the value you deliver (never on a lie or an invented bluff).
- A conversation script or counter-offer email, warm and confident, showing your interest in the job.
- 3 trade-offs in case there is no budget for salary (benefits, a review in 6 months, a bonus).
- How to react if they say no, keeping the door open.
Be concrete and give me ready phrases I can adapt.
How to use
1. Paste the prompt and answer each question honestly, one at a time. 2. Ask for the anchoring range and check that it reflects your real value. 3. Copy the script or counter-offer email and adjust it to your tone. 4. Rehearse your answers in case of a no. 5. Send it or say it calmly, always reinforcing your interest in the job.
