Practice Scenarios

Salary Negotiation Manager

Mission mode. You play yourself asking for a 15% raise. The AI plays a calm, slightly skeptical hiring manager whose budget is tight and whose patience is finite. Three live meters track the room.

Why practice with Salary Negotiation Manager?

Good for the conversation you keep rehearsing: asking your manager for more money. You will see your rapport, the manager's guardedness, and how close you are to alignment shift live as you talk.

Heuristics

  • ●Lead with scope, impact, and market evidence — not feelings or fairness arguments
  • ●Anchor high but with a defensible number (cite levels.fyi, peer benchmarks, or a competing offer)
  • ●Separate the ask from the relationship — "I love this team AND I want to be paid at market"
  • ●Have a BATNA: know what you'll do if the answer is no
  • ●Trade for non-cash if cash is blocked: title, scope, RSU refresh, learning budget
  • ●Silence is a tool — after stating your number, stop talking

Best Fit Scenarios

  • ●I want a 15% raise but I don't know how to open the conversation
  • ●I have a competing offer and I'm not sure how to use it without sounding threatening
  • ●I asked for a raise last quarter and got a vague "let's revisit" — how do I push?
  • ●I need to negotiate up an offer letter without losing the offer

Helps With

Practice the opening 60 seconds

The first sentence of a comp ask is usually the worst. Rehearse it until it sounds natural.

Handle "we don't have budget"

The most common pushback. Practice three different responses without getting flustered.

Negotiate non-cash compensation

Title, scope, equity refresh, remote flexibility — practice trading when cash is locked.

Hold silence after stating a number

Most people fill the silence and negotiate against themselves. Practice not doing that.

Boundaries

  • Simulator only — does not reflect any real company policy, compensation band, or manager
  • Not legal advice on employment terms, non-competes, or severance
  • Output meters are vibes-based estimates from an LLM, not a real psychological model
