Re: Senior Software Engineer offer — salary discussion

Body

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for the offer to join Acme Corp as Senior Software Engineer. I'm genuinely excited about the role and the team, and I'd love to find a way to make this work.

With 7 years of experience and my recent work leading the migration that reduced latency by 40%, I was hoping we could discuss moving the base salary to $115,000 — closer to the market rate for this seniority...

Tone

Collaborative

How it works

Four steps to a letter you'll actually send

1
Details

Enter the offer details

Job title, company name, what they offered, and what you're targeting. The gap between these numbers shapes the whole letter.

2
Achievements

Add your strongest achievements

Up to three achievements to use as leverage — specific, quantified, and directly relevant to why you're worth the number you're asking for.

3
Tone

Choose how direct you want to be

Collaborative (let's find a number that works for both of us), Confident (based on experience and market rate), or Firm (I need this number to accept). The letter changes significantly between them.

Tone options

How direct do you want to be?

Different situations call for different approaches. Pick the one that fits.

Collaborative

Excited and want to find a number that works for both parties

Confident

Based on experience and market rate, stating clearly what I'm looking for

Firm

I need this number to accept the offer

What makes it different

Not a generic template you have to rewrite

Three tones

Calibrated to how hard you want to push

Collaborative keeps the relationship warm while still asking. Confident is direct about market rate and experience. Firm communicates that you need the number to accept. Pick what fits your situation.

Inline editing

Edit the letter before you send it

The generated letter is a starting point. Flip into edit mode to adjust any line before you copy or export — so you're sending something you actually believe in.

Achievement-grounded

Built around what you actually bring

The letter uses your specific achievements as leverage — not generic "I have extensive experience" filler. The ask feels grounded because it is.

Pricing

Available on Credits and Pro

The salary letter is a paid feature — one well-written counter-offer can more than pay for itself.

Negotiate. Most people don't.

Studies consistently show that employers expect negotiation. A confident, professional ask rarely costs you the offer — and one good letter can be worth tens of thousands.
