How to negotiate an offer
Negotiating is normal once you have an offer, and a polite, specific request rarely costs it. The email the tool writes follows a simple shape: thank them and show you want the job, ask for one clear number, give two or three reasons based on facts (your skills, results, the cost of switching such as a notice buyout), and say you'll accept if they can meet it. If fixed pay is fixed, a joining bonus is often easier for companies to approve, and asking for a few days to decide is always reasonable.
Mention a competing offer only if it's real; recruiters may ask to see it. The tool checks that your ask is above the offer and keeps numbers like ₹40,000 intact. Nothing you type is uploaded; it's all worked out in your browser.
Worked example
Asha has a ₹7.5 lakh fixed offer for a data analyst role at Acme Analytics and wants ₹8.5 lakh, citing two years of SQL and Power BI, a sales dashboard used across 5 regions and a ₹40,000 notice buyout. The tool writes a 628-character email with the subject Re: Offer for Data Analyst: compensation and her three reasons as bullets, plus a 110-character message for WhatsApp or LinkedIn.

Frequently asked questions
How much more should I ask for?
Base it on the market and your situation; many people ask for 10–20% above the offer and land in between.
Can negotiating lose me the offer?
It's rare when the request is polite and reasonable. Avoid ultimatums and be ready to accept a 'no'.
