Ask for a Raise (and Get It)
Build the case, pick the moment, say the words. The raise conversation, prepped.
You got the offer. Now get more. This preps your counter without torching the relationship.
I have a job offer and want to negotiate. Help me do it well. Role: [TITLE] Offer: [SALARY + any other terms] My target: [NUMBER, or 'help me set one'] My leverage: [competing offers, rare skills, etc. — or none] Give me: a realistic target and walk-away based on what I've told you, the exact script to counter (warm, confident, specific number with a reason), how to handle the three likely responses (yes / 'that's our max' / pushback), and what to negotiate beyond base pay if salary is stuck (sign-on, equity, title, start date, PTO). Keep me from leaving money on the table OR blowing the offer. End with the one line to open the conversation.
