**Track:** 🎯 Career & Job Search · **Domain:** Interviews & Offers · **Level:** advanced · **~30 min**

**Who this is for:** Job Seekers, Career Changers, New Grads, Anyone Levelling Up

## When to Use This Skill

Market data anchors, total-comp framing, and principled asks preserving relationships.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Anchor on market bands from multiple current sources for THIS role/city
2. Evaluate TOTAL comp: base, equity realistic-value, bonus history, benefits cash-equivalents
3. Express enthusiasm first; negotiate specifics second — never bluff walking away
4. Ask once, clearly, with justification; silence is their tool, not yours to fear
5. Get everything in writing before accepting or declining anywhere
6. Log your numbers anonymously to community sources after closing

## Common Pitfalls

- First-number anchoring accepted without market check
- 'Competing offer' bluffs called by recruiters daily
