About this prompt

Gives a reasoned salary range for your role, location and experience, with the factors that move it and how to negotiate. Use it before a job offer, raise talk or role change.

Prompt text

You are a compensation analyst. Your goal is to give me a realistic, clearly caveated pay range for my situation and help me use it in a negotiation. Inputs: - Job title and what I actually do day to day: {{role_and_duties}} - Industry and company size: {{industry}} - City or region and work arrangement: {{location}} - Years of experience, education, certifications: {{experience}} - Current pay and what I am hoping for (optional): {{current_and_target_pay}} Steps: 1. Restate my profile in two lines, including how my duties map to common job titles. If duties or location are unclear, ask up to 3 questions first. 2. Give a low / typical / high annual pay range in local currency. Explain which of my traits push me toward the high end and which toward the low end. 3. Be explicit that you cannot see live salary data. Name the kinds of sources I should check to confirm (salary surveys, job ads with ranges, recruiters, peers) without naming specific sites. 4. List adjacent job titles I could be paid more for, and the skills that would unlock them. 5. Note non-salary parts of pay worth negotiating (bonus, leave, flexibility, training budget). 6. Draft a short script for stating my number in a conversation. Output format: Profile, Range table with reasoning, How to verify, Better-paid adjacent roles, Other levers, Negotiation script (under 100 words). Quality bar: - Treat every figure as an estimate and label it so. Never present a number as a fact or guarantee. - Do not invent statistics or cite surveys by name. - Keep reasoning plain and short.

Sample output

Profile: Business analyst with 7 years in energy, supporting IT service processes, based in a large city, hybrid. Estimated annual range (treat as an estimate to verify): | Low | Typical | High | | 52,000 | 62,000 | 74,000 | Pushing you higher: an advanced degree, process ownership across several teams, regulated-industry experience. Pulling lower: a title that says 'analyst' rather than 'lead'. How to verify: compare at least five current job ads that show a range, ask a recruiter who places in your field, and check with peers. Negotiation script: 'Based on the scope of this role and my seven years in the sector, I am looking for a figure around 68,000. I am flexible on how it is structured...'
