Your Opening Strategy
Based on your leverage factors, lead with confidence. Express genuine enthusiasm for the role, then pivot to compensation with market data.
Suggested Script
“Thank you for the offer – I’m genuinely excited about this opportunity and the team. After reviewing the complete package and doing market research for similar roles at this level, I was hoping we could discuss the base salary. Based on my [X years] of experience and the specialized skills I bring in [area], I believe a base of $[counter] would better reflect the market rate and the value I’ll deliver.”
Pro Tips for Your Situation
Timing Matters
Negotiate after you have the offer in writing, but before you accept. This is when you have maximum leverage.
Never Accept on the Spot
Always ask for time to review. Say: “Thank you! I’d like to review the complete offer. Can I get back to you by [date]?”
Use Silence
After stating your counter, stop talking. Let them respond. Silence is uncomfortable but powerful.
