Negotiating Offers

Scope

Covers

• Negotiating an employment offer (cash + equity + role scope) with a clear plan and scripts
• Negotiating success conditions (resources, budget, headcount, authority, expectations) before/alongside compensation
• Clarifying “features vs experiences” trade-offs (money/title vs learning/autonomy/mentorship)
• Proposing alternative structures when helpful (e.g., part-time or contract as a bridge)

When to use

• “Help me negotiate this offer (salary/equity/title/level/start date).”
• “Write a counteroffer email + call agenda.”
• “I want to negotiate for resources so I can succeed in the role.”
• “I’m optimizing for learning/flexibility, not just comp—help me structure the ask.”

When NOT to use

• You are exploring a career pivot and don’t yet have an offer — use career-transitions to clarify direction first
• You need to design a sales compensation plan or quota structure — use sales-compensation
