This article will elaborate on AI-powered salary negotiations. Note that your results may vary depending on multiple factors.
1. Check out the latest industry standards
Perform a quick Google to confirm the current average salary range for your job title. Check multiple sources like Indeed, JobStreet and Glassdoor to get a proper estimate.
Then, AI-powered job portal Careerflow recommends entering the following prompt on ChatGPT for another salary range:
“I have an interview for the role of [Your Role] at [Your Company]. I’m researching the industry standards of the company.”
“Can you provide me with insights on salaries based on [Provide information like job titles, locations, experience and skills]? I want to understand the current compensation landscape to negotiate confidently.”
2. Generate the perfect responses
After figuring out your ideal salary range, it’s time to practice negotiating your pay rise. You must anticipate typical questions like, “Why do you think you deserve this amount?”
Fortunately, you can ask ChatGPT to practice your negotiation with the following prompt from Careerflow:
“I’m preparing for a job interview for the role of [Your Role] at [Company Name] and I’m nervous about salary-related questions.”

ChatGPT may also serve as your live coach by activating its Voice Mode. This feature is available under the ChatGPT Plus subscription, which costs $20 monthly.
Alternatively, you could use this Careerflow prompt:
“I have been working for [number of years of experience] years as a [Your Role] now and I believe I have made significant contributions to the company.”
“Can you suggest some possible ways to discuss a salary raise or negotiation with my employer? Additionally, act as my employer and generate some conversational questions, and let me know your feedback on them.”
4. Craft a professional email
You will likely start your pay rise negotiation with an email request, so ensure it’s assertive and professional.
Your first message can have an impact on the discussion significantly, so ensure that you send a well-crafted one.
Again, ChatGPT can help with the following prompt:
“Generate a salary raise or negotiation argument with my manager based on my experience of [Your Experience].”
