Example Output

Dear hiring team, I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to join your company as a Senior Analyst. Based on the specialized data modeling skills I bring and the market average for this level, I was hoping we could explore a base salary closer to ninety five thousand dollars. If there is no flexibility on the base salary, I would be open to discussing performance bonuses or equity options. I am eager to align on a package so we can move forward.
