The Salary Negotiation Prep

Prepare me to negotiate this compensation offer/raise.

The situation: [NEW OFFER / RAISE / PROMOTION]
The details: [CURRENT AND OFFERED COMP, THE ROLE, MY LEVERAGE]
My alternatives: [OTHER OFFERS, STAYING PUT, ETC.]

Provide:
1. The full picture to negotiate (base, bonus, equity, benefits, title,
   flexibility — not just salary)
2. A researched, defensible target and how to justify it (flag to verify
   market data)
3. How to open and respond without underselling myself
4. Scripts for the key moments (making the ask, handling "that's our
   max," countering)
5. How to negotiate firmly while staying gracious and keeping the
   relationship

Help me claim my value confidently — most people leave money on the table
by not asking. Note the market figures I must verify.
