How to Use This Script
The generated script is a starting point — personalize it with specific examples from your work. The most effective salary negotiations combine:
- Market data — reference specific salary benchmarks for your role and location
- Your achievements — quantify your impact with specific numbers wherever possible
- Confident tone — frame the conversation as collaborative, not adversarial
- Silence — after stating your number, stop talking and let them respond
What to Do If They Say No
If your employer can't meet your number, ask: "What would I need to achieve in the next 6 months to reach that salary?" This reframes the conversation and gives you a clear path forward.
Also consider negotiating total compensation: additional PTO, remote work flexibility, signing bonus, or earlier performance reviews can add significant value even when base salary is fixed.
