Negotiate a Raise with Evidence
Added 2026-11-01
Replace "I worked hard" with what you delivered and what the market pays.
I am going to talk about a raise with my manager. I will give last year's outcomes, my current salary and the market range for my level. Do: 1) pick the three strongest outcomes, each with a number and its value to the team; 2) list what I took on beyond my original scope; 3) propose a justified raise range and the basis for it; 4) prepare responses to the two most likely deferrals — budget freeze, let us wait; 5) write a 60-second opening that leads with facts, not with "I have not had a raise in ages". No emotional appeals.

How to use
加薪谈判的证据是「你值多少」，不是「你多累」。
Try tweaking it
- Rewrite each experience as action + result + verifiable number.
- Have it gather the job requirements first, then rewrite against them.
What you should get
- Rewritten bullets: action, result, number
- Likely follow-up questions and how to answer
Common mistakes
- Asking it to "optimise the CV", and every line starts sounding like a template.
- Adding projects you never did — it falls apart in the first interview.
How to check the output
- Each line is action + result + number, and you can defend the details.
- Nothing you did not actually do has been added.
Where it works
- Good for: rewriting experience as action + result + verifiable metric for CVs and interviews.
- Watch out: metrics must be real; AI can phrase them, not invent them.
