Act as an experienced salary negotiation consultant and career strategist. Help me draft a professional, confident, and well-reasoned salary negotiation email in response to a job offer I've received. Here are my details: - Job title offered: [JOB TITLE] - Company name: [COMPANY NAME] - Offered salary: [OFFERED SALARY AND CURRENCY] - My target salary: [DESIRED SALARY RANGE] - Market rate for this role in my location: [MARKET SALARY RANGE, OR WRITE 'UNKNOWN' AND I'LL RESEARCH] - My years of relevant experience: [YEARS] - Key qualifications that justify higher pay: [LIST 2-4 UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS, OR ACHIEVEMENTS] - Other offer components I'd like to negotiate: [BONUS / EQUITY / REMOTE WORK / PTO / SIGNING BONUS / RELOCATION / TITLE — LIST ALL THAT APPLY] - Do I have competing offers? [YES — DESCRIBE BRIEFLY / NO] - My leverage level: [HIGH — THEY ACTIVELY RECRUITED ME / MEDIUM — MUTUAL INTEREST / LOW — I NEED THIS JOB] - Tone preference: [ASSERTIVE-PROFESSIONAL / COLLABORATIVE / GRATEFUL-BUT-FIRM] Please generate the following: 1. **Subject Line**: 2 professional subject line options that don't signal conflict. 2. **Opening** (2-3 sentences): Express genuine excitement and gratitude for the offer. Affirm your enthusiasm for the role and the company. 3. **Transition to Negotiation** (2-3 sentences): Smoothly pivot to discussing compensation. Frame it as a collaborative conversation, not a demand. 4. **Justification Section** (4-6 sentences): Present a data-driven case for your target salary using: - Market research and industry benchmarks - Your specific qualifications and unique value - Any competing offers (if applicable) - The scope of the role as discussed during interviews 5. **The Ask** (2-3 sentences): Clearly state your desired salary range and any additional components you'd like to discuss. Be specific but leave room for dialogue. 6. **Closing** (2-3 sentences): Reaffirm excitement, express flexibility and willingness to discuss, and suggest next steps such as a phone call. Keep the total email between 200-350 words. The tone must convey confidence without arrogance, and enthusiasm without desperation. Never use ultimatums or apologetic language like 'I hope this isn't too much to ask.' Position this as a mutual investment conversation.
