Salaryscript Pro

Salaryscript Pro

Summary
The full operating system for negotiating big-tech offers. Pro teaches you how to design, price, and close a package—not just haggle a number. You’ll learn the strategy behind each move, the exact words to use, and the offer math that turns “pretty good” into “career-changing.”

What it is
A comprehensive, step-by-step playbook for running a professional negotiation end-to-end: market mapping, levelling and bands, multi-offer orchestration, equity mechanics, objection handling, and clean closures. It pairs deep explanations with word-for-word scripts, annotated examples, and lightweight worksheets so you know what to say, why it works, and how to log it.

What’s inside
• End-to-end timeline: from first screen to signature, including when to push, pause, or escalate.
• Market value & level mapping: comp bands, geo adjustments, ladders, and how to anchor to external references without self-anchoring.
• First-number defense: scripts for “what are your expectations?” on phone and email, plus range-redirects that keep leverage intact.
• Counteroffer frameworks: trade base vs. sign-on vs. equity, set vesting/refresh that compound, and structure year-one cash without breaking bands.
• Equity deep dive: RSUs vs. options, cliffs, 409A/strike, post-termination windows, early exercise, double-trigger acceleration, and the “no fairy-tales” valuation lens.
• Refresh strategy: cadence, perf multipliers, and getting refresh targets documented in writing.
• Offer math tools: first-year cash vs. long-term EV, tax-aware comparisons, COLA checks, and risk-profile guides.
• Objection handling: “top of band,” “policy,” “will you sign if…,” exploding deadlines, and “don’t shop our offer” jiu-jitsu, each with reply templates.
• Scope over title: picking team/manager, writing a 90-day charter, and using scope to justify structure.
• Logistics levers: start date, relocation, hardware, education/conference budgets, remote cadence, immigration support.
• Reason library: human, non-cringey justifications that make approvals easier to approve.
• Offer log & recap emails: a single source of truth for salary, RSUs, vesting, refresh, sign-on, start date, team, and every verbal commitment.
• Deadline planner + “path to yes”: how to set a decision date, be winnable, and use the trump card (“If you can do X, I’ll sign.”).
• Case studies: real closing transcripts with line-by-line commentary.
