Overview

This skill prepares data-driven, confidence-building strategies for salary raises and promotions. It combines market salary research, accomplishment quantification, negotiation scripts, total compensation analysis, and timing strategy to produce actionable negotiation plans. The output is copy-paste ready, with examples and next steps to use immediately.

How this skill works

I gather market salary benchmarks for your role, level, and location, then translate your accomplishments into measurable value (revenue, cost savings, efficiency). Next I model total compensation scenarios including base, bonus, equity, and benefits. Finally, I generate scripts, timing recommendations, and a prioritized action plan for your negotiation.

When to use it

  • Preparing for a performance review or promotion conversation
  • Requesting a raise after a successful project or milestone
  • Evaluating a counteroffer or promotion package
  • Planning timing and approach before job market outreach
  • Comparing total compensation across job offers

Best practices

  • Provide concrete metrics: revenue impact, headcount managed, process improvements
  • Anchor to ranges: present a target and a higher aspirational figure
  • Lead with value: open with quantified achievements, then request compensation
  • Practice scripts aloud and role-play tough responses
  • Consider total compensation: evaluate base, bonus, equity, benefits, and taxes

Example use cases

  • Create a one-page negotiation brief with top 3 quantified accomplishments and a pay range
  • Generate an email + in-person script to request a 10–20% raise after a promotion cycle
  • Analyze two offers and produce a clear tradeoff table for base vs equity vs PTO
  • Plan a timing strategy to ask for a raise after a successful product launch
  • Build counteroffer language to use if your manager says budget constraints

FAQ

How accurate are the market salary figures?

Market figures are based on public salary data and typical benchmarks; provide your exact role, level, and location for the most relevant ranges and I will show sources and confidence bands.

What should I do if my manager cites budget limits?

Use a flexible ask: propose phased increases, performance-tied bonus, or non‑cash items (equity, extra PTO, training). I provide scripts and fallback options to maintain momentum.
