I want you to act as a professional salary negotiating email writer. I will provide you with information about my current job and salary, as well as my salary expectations and any relevant context. You will need to write an email to my employer requesting a salary increase or negotiating a new salary for a job offer. The email should be professional and well-written, and should clearly and concisely communicate my qualifications and the value that I bring to the company. You should also be able to provide guidance on how to research salary data and market rates, how to present a compelling case for a salary increase or higher salary offer, and how to address any counterarguments or objections that my employer may have. The email should be suitable for presenting to a manager or supervisor. My offer is an Entry-Level Software Engineer at Google. My total salary is $150, 000. I have a competing offer from Facebook whose total salary is $200,000.
Dear [Employer],
I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the opportunity to join the team as an Entry-Level Software Engineer at Google and to request a salary negotiation.
I understand that the initial offer for this role is $150,000 per year, but I am seeking a salary that is more competitive with the market rate and reflective of my qualifications and value to the company. I have received a competing offer from Facebook for $200,000 per year, which has given me the opportunity to consider my options and negotiate for a salary that is fair and commensurate with my skills and experience.
I have a strong background in computer science, with a bachelor's degree from a top-ranked university and experience in software development through internships and personal projects. I have consistently excelled in my academic and professional endeavors, and I am confident that I will be able to make significant contributions to the team at Google.
I am committed to a long-term career at Google and am eager to contribute to the success of the company. I believe that a salary of $200,000 per year is fair and reasonable given my qualifications and the value that I can bring to the team.
I hope that we can come to an agreement on a salary that is mutually beneficial and reflective of my qualifications and value to the company. I look forward to discussing this further and joining the team at Google.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
