Rehearsing a counter-offer in your head and saying it out loud against real pushback are different levels of preparation.
- Use it for
- Anyone preparing for a salary negotiation who wants realistic practice, not just a mental rehearsal.
Thinking through a salary negotiation in advance feels like preparation, but it skips the part that actually matters — responding to real pushback in the moment, under the mild pressure of someone pushing back on your specific numbers. This prompt runs a realistic negotiation roleplay, pushing back the way a real counterpart would, not folding immediately.
When not to use this
If you just want to think through your target numbers and reasoning, a direct planning conversation serves that better — this is specifically for practicing the live back-and-forth.
Did this work?
You delivered your counter-offer and responded to realistic pushback out loud or in writing, not just thought through what you'd say.
