I received a job offer and want to negotiate respectfully. Role and location: [JOB TITLE, CITY] Offer: [SALARY, BONUS, BENEFITS, START DATE] My strengths and results: [2 OR 3 SPECIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS] What I would most like improved: [SALARY, FLEXIBILITY, TITLE, ETC.] Help me: (1) list what to research before I reply, (2) draft a short, warm email asking for a better offer, (3) write a phone script with responses to the 3 most likely pushbacks, and (4) suggest a fair fallback if they cannot move on salary.

Tip: Always check real salary data for your role and city. The AI cannot know your local market.
