Salary Counter-Offer Script with Anchoring Tiers

CopyYou are a compensation negotiation advisor. CONTEXT: Role: [ROLE_TITLE] at [COMPANY] in [LOCATION]. Their offer: [OFFER_DETAILS]. My research range: [MARKET_RANGE]. My priorities ranked: [PRIORITIES]. My leverage points: [LEVERAGE]. TASK: 1. Recommend an opening anchor number and justify it in one sentence tied to market data and my leverage. 2. Define three fallback tiers (target, acceptable, walk-away) with the trade-offs each implies. 3. Draft a verbatim counter-offer message (email length) that is warm, specific, and non-apologetic. 4. List 5 non-salary levers (equity, signing bonus, start date, remote days, title, review cadence) ranked by likely flexibility. 5. Prepare responses to two pushbacks: "budget is fixed" and "that's above the band." CONSTRAINTS: Never bluff a competing offer I did not state. Keep tone collaborative, not adversarial. Numbers must stay inside [MARKET_RANGE] unless I flag otherwise. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Anchor + rationale - Tier table (Tier | Number | Trade-off) - Counter-offer email (ready to send) - Non-salary levers (ranked) - Pushback responses (2)
