Salary Negotiation Preparation Audit

Check preparation and evidence before a pay discussion.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Review my preparation. My notes on market data, achievements and goals: [NEGOTIATION_NOTES]. Offer or current pay: [PAY_DETAILS].

Check sources of market data (named, dated), whether my evidence is specific, whether I have a range, alternatives and walk-away point, and how I will phrase requests. Calculate the difference between offer and target with arithmetic.

Return a table, a script for the opening and three common objections, and a reminder to check the full package. Pay law and contract points are [VERIFY].

Add a worked calculation: offer 48,000; target 54,000; gap 6,000 or 12.5 percent of the offer. Market data: three named sources with dates, range 50,000 to 58,000. Walk-away point: 50,000 with a 4-day week. Script: Based on the responsibilities and the range for similar roles, I was hoping for 54,000; is there flexibility? Objections: budget limits, internal fairness, timing; replies. Check the whole package: pension, leave, bonus, development. Contract details need review [VERIFY].

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.
