AI Salary Negotiation Coach — practice before the call that costs you $5K–$50K
Salary negotiation is a 2-minute conversation that decides your comp for the next 12 months. Most people improvise it. The ones who practice it get 10–25% better offers.
Most people accept the first offer.
They're tired from the search. They don't want to seem ungrateful. They're afraid the offer will get rescinded. So they say yes — and leave $5K–$50K on the table for the next year. The recruiter expected them to negotiate. The recruiter's budget was higher than the offer.
Practice with an AI recruiter that pushes back like a real one.
Premium includes the Salary Negotiation Coach: pull comp data for your role + city, study the scripts that work (first-number ask, counter-offer, pushback handling), then practice with the simulator. The AI plays the recruiter — pushes back on your number, explains "we don't have flexibility on base", asks why you deserve more. You answer. Repeat until your voice doesn't crack.
How it works
1. Pull market data for your role + city
Premium includes integrations with Levels.fyi (tech), Glassdoor (general), Comparably, and Canadian-specific sources. Returns Floor / Target / Stretch bands for your specific role + city + experience level.
2. Study the scripts
Three reusable scripts: first-number ask (when the recruiter asks "what are you looking for?"), counter-offer (when the offer is below your target), pushback handling ("we don't negotiate first offers"). Each with timing rules and the framing that works.
3. Run the simulator
AI recruiter scenarios: aggressive recruiter, friendly recruiter, "we don't have budget" recruiter, leveling-debate recruiter. You speak (or type) your response; the AI pushes back. Your answer gets scored on confidence, specificity, and structure.
4. Rehearse 10x
The first time you negotiate, you'll fumble even with a perfect script — your voice cracks, you accept too quickly, you fill the silence. The simulator is a low-stakes way to fumble 10 times before the real call.
Who this is for
Honest about who gets the most leverage from this feature.
First-job-after-school negotiation
New-grad ranges have more discretion than people think. Practice asking for the top of the band confidently — even $3K higher base = $90K compounding lifetime.
Senior IC with a single offer
You don't have a competing offer to leverage. Practice the "I want to make this an easy yes at $X" script that doesn't threaten to walk.
Multiple competing offers
The hardest negotiation: getting the offer you want from the company you want, while not poisoning the other relationships. Simulator scenarios for each company's style.
Leveling debate
The role was posted as Senior but the work described is Staff. Practice asking to be considered at the higher level — and the data points that win that conversation.
How it stacks up
Real comparison vs the alternatives most people consider first.
vs reading negotiation books
Reading is theory. The Coach is practice. The first time you say a script out loud is the moment you find out it doesn't come naturally. Practice 10 times before the real call costs you $5K.
vs hiring a career coach
Career coaches charge $200–500/session for the same conversation. Premium ($39 CAD/mo) gives you unlimited rehearsals and updated market data.
vs no preparation
"I'll figure it out on the call" is what the recruiter is hoping for. The recruiter has had this conversation 200 times. You've had it 3 times. Don't go in blind.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the market data?+
We pull from Levels.fyi (tech), Glassdoor, Comparably, and Canadian-specific sources. For Canadian roles we adjust upward 5–10% from the LinkedIn-listed range — Canadian companies habitually anchor low and expect counter-offers.
Can the simulator handle non-tech roles?+
Yes — strong usage from marketing, finance, ops, sales, and consulting roles. The simulator scenarios adapt to the recruiter style typical for each industry.
Is voice or text input?+
Both. Voice is more realistic (you find out where your voice breaks), but text is faster for iterating on responses.
How many rehearsals do I need?+
Most users do 5–10 sessions over 1–2 weeks before the real call. The diminishing-returns point is around 10 — by then your scripts feel natural.
Does this work for new grads?+
Yes — and arguably more important for new grads, because new-grad ranges have more discretion than people think and compound for 30+ years.
