Salary Benchmarking Intelligence
Know your number before they ask for it.
Real compensation data for your role and market, so you negotiate from facts instead of a nervous guess.
The recipe
Open Claude, paste this, and replace the [brackets] with your details.
Benchmark compensation for [role] at [level] in [location / remote]. Use levels.fyi, Glassdoor, Payscale, BLS, and recent job postings that list ranges. Give me: - A realistic base range (low / mid / high) - Total comp if bonus or equity is common for this role - How [company] likely pays versus market, if it is known - The number I should anchor to, with a one-line justification - 3 negotiation levers for this type of role Cite your sources and tell me how confident you are in the range.
What you get
- A defensible base and total-comp range
- An anchor number with justification
- 3 negotiation levers
- A confidence level, so you know how hard to hold
Pro tip: Ranges are estimates, not quotes. Treat the mid-point as your floor for a role you're well-qualified for.
