Rewritten
Talking points for a call:
"Thank you again for the offer — I'm genuinely excited about this role and the team. I did some research on market compensation for Senior Analyst positions in this area, and comparable roles are typically landing in the $105,000 to $115,000 range. Given my experience and the scope of this role, I was hoping we could get closer to $108,000. Is there flexibility on the base salary to get there?"
If they ask for justification: "My research is based on [source, e.g. levels.fyi / industry salary surveys / comparable postings], and I also bring [specific relevant experience] that I believe aligns with the higher end of that range."
If they can't move on base: "I understand if there's limited flexibility on base — would there be room to discuss a signing bonus, additional PTO, or an accelerated review timeline instead?"
About this tool
Negotiating a job offer is a specific, high-stakes conversation that most people rarely get practice with, which makes it easy to either freeze up or come across as combative. This tool takes your actual offer details and target number and produces a polite but confident script — usable as talking points for a call or adapted into an email — that asks for what you want without burning goodwill. It picks up after the interview process is essentially done, which distinguishes it from the earlier-stage tools in this batch focused on landing the offer in the first place.
Frequently asked questions
Will this guarantee I get the number I ask for?+
No tool can guarantee negotiation outcomes — this gives you a well-structured, confident way to make your case, but the result depends on the employer's actual flexibility and budget.
What if I don't have market research to back up my number?+
Include whatever research you have, even if informal; the script will reference it, but you'll get a stronger result if you look up comparable salaries beforehand on a site like Glassdoor or levels.fyi.
Does it cover negotiating things besides base salary?+
Yes — it includes a fallback approach for negotiating other levers like signing bonus, PTO, or start date if base salary has no room to move.
