Example Output
Initial Opening Script: "I'm excited about this opportunity. Based on my research of market rates for this role in our location, combined with my [X years] of experience in [specific domain] and my track record of [key achievement], I'm seeking a salary in the range of $[X] to $[Y]. This reflects both the value I'll bring and the competitive market for this position."
Handling Budget Objection: Employer: "That's above our budget." Your response: "I understand budget constraints are real. Let's explore options. Could we revisit this in 6 months with a performance review, or would structuring part of the compensation as a performance bonus work within your current budget?"
