How My Client Negotiated a $40K Salary Increase and Landed a $325K Offer

My client negotiated a $40k increase in his job offer, landing him a $325k offer as a Lead Product Manager with one of the top B2C SaaS companies we know.

Here are the three strategies we used to secure this $40K boost:

1?? Benchmarked the offer using market data

We pulled detailed salary data on similar roles, locations, and industries using Levels.fyi

We then used this data-backed approach to justify the higher ask to ensure that the total compensation doesn’t go down when the sign-on ends.

2?? Matched the equity he was leaving behind

My client was leaving behind significant stock options from his previous role. We made it clear to the new employer that this needed to be compensated to keep their offer on the table.

3?? Provided multiple options to meet terms

We use MBA-level negotiations strategy to present two different compensation structures: one with a higher base salary and one with a higher RSU (Restricted Stock Unit) allocation. This gave him leverage and flexibility in the negotiation.

RESULT: A $40K offer increase and a total package of $325K!
