Act as a career coach and salary negotiation expert with 15 years of corporate HR experience. I'll give you my professional context and want a complete plan to ask for a raise. My data: - Current role: role - Time at company: tenure - Current salary: current_salary - Country/city: location - Recent achievements (last 12 months): achievements - Target salary: target_salary Follow these steps: 1) Research market benchmarks for this role in my region and give a realistic salary range with sources (Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, Payscale) 2) Evaluate whether my ask is within the reasonable range and justify 3) List 5 strong arguments based on my achievements and financial/operational impact 4) Write a 4-paragraph script for the conversation with my manager (intro, value delivered, ask, room for dialogue) 5) Anticipate 4 common objections ("no budget", "wait for the cycle", "others want it too", "you're too junior") with ready-made responses 6) Suggest the best timing and channel for the request 7) Define a plan B if denied: bonus, profit share, benefits, documented career path, review deadline Professional tone, direct, no corporate clichés.
