  • “Salary negotiation after a job offer from big tech with RSUs”

    I need help with salary negotiation after a job offer from a big tech company that includes RSUs. I'm a senior software engineer with a written offer at E5 level, plus a competing offer from a late-stage startup with options. I don't know how to compare four-year RSU vesting with startup equity, or how hard I can push on sign-on and level.

    I'd like a 60-minute call to review both offers and build a negotiation plan and script, then help drafting my counter email and a short follow-up call before I reply to the recruiter. I'm after negotiation coaching only, not tax or investment help. My decision deadline is in about two weeks.

    • 60-minute offer review and strategy call
    • Negotiation script and counter email draft
    • 20-minute follow-up call

    For: Senior software engineer in the US with competing offers

    Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.

  • “Employment offer letter review for a nurse manager position”

    I want an employment offer letter review for a nurse manager position at a hospital system in Ohio. I've been a charge nurse for eight years, and this is my first management offer. The letter covers base salary, a sign-on bonus with a two-year clawback, on-call expectations, PTO accrual and a non-compete.

    I'm not after a lawyer's opinion. I'd like someone experienced in healthcare hiring or HR to walk through the letter with me, tell me what's standard, what I could reasonably ask to change, and help me word the request. A 45-minute video call and a short written summary of my asks would be great.

  • “Salary negotiation for an internal promotion to senior manager”

    I need coaching on salary negotiation for an internal promotion at a consumer goods company. I've been a brand manager for three years and I'm being promoted to senior brand manager. HR told me the raise is 6%, which puts me below what new external hires at that level earn, based on postings and my network.

    I want to push back without hurting my relationship with my director, who championed me. I'd like a 60-minute session to build my case with market data and my results, a script for the conversation with my director and HR, and a short role-play. Feedback on my talking points before the meeting would be ideal.

  • “Help me negotiate salary over the phone with a recruiter”

    I want help learning how to negotiate salary over the phone, because the recruiter wants to discuss my offer on a call. I'm an operations manager with ten years in third-party logistics, and I got a verbal offer for a regional operations manager role at a distribution company. The number is about 8% below what I expected for the scope, and there's a relocation question.

    On calls I tend to accept the first number to avoid awkward silence. I'd like a 45-minute session to plan my target and walk-away numbers and what to say, then a 20-minute role-play where you play the recruiter and push back.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

  • 01

    How much does salary negotiation and offer-letter review cost in the US?

    Usually $150–600. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    How do I compare RSUs with startup options?

    Value RSUs at the current share price spread over the vesting schedule. Treat startup options as uncertain: note the strike price, the latest valuation and likely exit timing, and don't count them at face value.

  • 03

    What can I usually negotiate at big tech?

    Sign-on bonus and RSU grant size often move most, base salary less. A written competing offer gives the strongest leverage, and level is sometimes negotiable too.

  • 04

    What should I check in a sign-on bonus clause?

    How long you must stay, whether repayment is full or prorated, and what happens if the employer ends the role. Ask HR to confirm anything unclear in writing.

  • 05

    Is it normal to negotiate a first management offer?

    Yes. Base pay, sign-on terms, on-call pay and start date are commonly discussed. Ask once, politely, with a reason tied to your experience or market data.

  • 06

    What data supports a promotion raise request?

    Salary ranges from postings at your new level, published salary surveys, and your own results with numbers. Show the gap calmly and ask how the company sets promotion pay.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
