Salary Negotiation Prep
Handles the full salary negotiation workflow from market research to counter-offer scripts. You get frameworks for pulling comp data from Levels.fyi and H1B databases, templates for negotiation emails and call scripts, and tactical guidance for specific scenarios like competing offers or inflexible base salary. The skill breaks down total compensation beyond just base salary (equity, bonuses, benefits) and includes a solid comparison table structure. Most useful when you have an offer in hand and need to move fast. The advice is practical and grounded in real tactics like the 24-48 hour review window and knowing which levers to pull when base won't budge. It won't do the research for you, but it will keep you from leaving money on the table.
