Short version: collect your results, find a range from real sources, pick one number, write a short ask, and practice the pushback.
Build your case from real results
Interview me one question at a time about my last [12] months in my role as [job title]: projects, results, new responsibilities, feedback I got, and problems I fixed.
Then turn my answers into 5 bullet points that show value to the business. Use only facts I gave you; mark anything vague with [ADD NUMBER] instead of guessing.Fill in the [ADD NUMBER] gaps from your own records. A specific, true result is more persuasive than a big vague one.
Find a range yourself
Don't ask a chatbot what you should earn: it can be out of date or wrong. Look at current job postings for similar roles in your area (many US states and cities require posted pay ranges), your company's pay bands if they're shared, and pay-data sites. Then let AI organize what you found.
Here are pay figures I found for [job title] in [city], with sources: [paste].
Summarize the low, middle and high. Point out which sources are less comparable (different seniority, region or company size).
Suggest one specific number to ask for, with a one-line reason, and a walk-away minimum I should decide on myself.Write the ask
Write a short email to my manager [name] asking for a meeting to discuss my compensation.
Don't put the number in the email. Mention 2 of these results: [paste bullets]. Friendly, confident, under 120 words.Negotiating a new job offer instead? Use this:
I received an offer for [role] at [company]: [base, bonus, benefits, start date]. I'm excited about it.
Write a reply that thanks them, says I'm ready to accept if we can get the base to [number], and gives 2 reasons based on [my experience / the range I found].
Warm, short, no ultimatums. Also list non-salary items I could ask about if base is fixed (start date, extra time off, sign-on bonus, title, remote days).Rehearse the conversation and the pushback
Role-play my manager in a raise conversation. Start neutral, then push back realistically: 'budget is tight', 'let's revisit at review time', 'that's above the band'.
Ask one thing at a time and wait for my reply. After 5 exchanges, tell me where I was too vague or too apologetic and give me better wording.Preparing for the interview that comes before the offer?

Can ChatGPT tell me what salary to ask for?
Treat its number as a guess. Find ranges yourself from current job postings, pay-data sites and your company's pay bands, then use AI to organize them and pick a number.
Should I put the number in the raise email?
Usually it's better to ask for a meeting in the email and discuss the number in person or on a call, then follow up in writing.
What if my manager says no?
Ask what would need to change for a raise and when you can revisit it, then confirm that in a short follow-up email.
Can AI help me negotiate a job offer?
Yes. It can draft a polite counteroffer, list non-salary items to ask for and role-play the recruiter's responses so you're ready.
