Example Output
Opening Statement (Senior Software Engineer, San Francisco): "Thank you for the offer. I'm excited about the role and team. Based on my research of market rates for a senior engineer with my background in the SF Bay Area, combined with the domain expertise I bring, I was expecting something in the range of $180-$195K. Can we discuss how we might align on that?"
Counter-Offer Response (Product Manager, New York): "I appreciate the offer of $130K. However, considering similar PM roles at comparable companies in NYC for someone with 7 years of experience and a track record of shipping products that drove $2M+ in revenue, market data shows the range is typically $145-$165K. I'd be comfortable at $155K plus standard equity."
Walk-Away Language (Senior Designer): "I've really enjoyed learning more about this role and team. However, after careful consideration of my market value and the offer provided, I don't think it's the right fit at this time. I'd welcome reconnecting in the future if circumstances change."
