I received a job offer for a [job title] role. What are the key components I should review before making a decision, beyond base salary?

Help me draft a professional email to negotiate a job offer for a [job title] role. I would like to express appreciation for the offer, reinforce my enthusiasm, and ask whether there is flexibility in [ex: compensation].. Keep the tone professional, respectful, and confident.

Help me create a framework to compare two job offers, including compensation, benefits, location, growth potential, work environment, and any other important considerations.

  • verify salary and compensation information using current, trusted sources
  • consider the full offer, not just base salary
  • personalize negotiation emails and talking points so they reflect your priorities and communication style
  • think about your values, needs, and goals before responding to an offer
  • use AI to support decision making, not to replace your judgement, values, or direct market research

  • assume AI-generated salary information is fully accurate or current
  • rely on AI alone when making a decision about an offer
  • send AI-generated negotiation language without revising it to sound like you
  • use AI to inflate market data or make claims you cannot support
