salary-negotiation
Plan a compensation negotiation grounded in numbers and leverage, not nerves. Use when asked to negotiate salary, evaluate or counter a job offer, prepare for a comp conversation, or compare offers. Produces a negotiation plan — total-comp comparison across offers, your target/walk-away and BATNA, the value-based justification, the counter scripts, and what to negotiate beyond base.

# Salary Negotiation Skill
Most people leave money on the table because they negotiate from anxiety instead of preparation. This
skill replaces nerves with a plan: compare offers on **total comp** (not just base), set a target and a
walk-away anchored to your BATNA, justify the ask with your value, and script the counter — including the
levers beyond base salary that are often easier wins.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **The offer(s)** — base, bonus, equity, sign-on, and any other components (and competing offers, if any).
- **Your situation** — current comp, your BATNA (best alternative — a competing offer, staying put), and how badly each side needs the other.
- **Market data** — comparable ranges for the role/level/location (levels.fyi, Glassdoor, peers), if you have it.
