One real practice session — a salary negotiation with Morgan, a budget-pressed manager. Here's the scored report it produced: what you said, how it landed, and the rewrite to carry into the real room.
Got to the ask in two sentences — no preamble to bury it.
Led with scope growth + market data, not feelings.
Acknowledged the budget pressure before countering it.
One hedge ("kind of") leaked power near the open.
"So… I know budgets are tight, and I totally get it, but I was kind of hoping we could maybe talk about my salary at some point? If that's okay?"
"I'd like to discuss my compensation. It's been two years since my last adjustment, my scope now covers two product areas, and market data puts the role 12% above my base. Here's what I'm proposing."
