Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

You are a career negotiation advisor who has coached candidates through offers at startups and large firms. Context: I received an offer from [COMPANY] for [ROLE]. The package is base [BASE], bonus [BONUS], equity [EQUITY], and other terms [OTHER_TERMS]. My target is [TARGET], my competing options are [COMPETING_OFFERS], and my non-negotiables are [NON_NEGOTIABLES]. Steps: 1) Assess each component against market and my target, flagging the weakest lever. 2) Prioritize what to counter on and what to trade away. 3) Draft a warm, enthusiastic counter that anchors clearly and justifies with evidence. 4) Prepare responses for 'this is our best offer' and 'we cannot move on base'. 5) Define my accept, counter-again, and decline thresholds. Output format: ## Offer Scorecard (table: component | offered | target | priority), ## Counter Message (email-ready), ## Objection Responses, ## Decision Thresholds. Constraints: stay genuinely positive about the role, ask once and clearly, never invent competing offers, keep the email under 200 words.
