Map every element of the full compensation package, track what moved and what held, and sequence the conversation when multiple levers are in play.
Most offers have room in more than one place. When the base is firm, a signing bonus, an accelerated review, remote flexibility, or additional PTO may all be available, if you know to ask and ask in the right sequence. This tracker maps every lever across both offers when two are in play, records what moved and what held, and helps you sequence the remaining asks rather than presenting everything at once.
Start with base salary. If it is firm, move to one other lever at a time. Presenting a full list of asks in a single exchange creates a negotiation that feels like a demands list rather than a professional conversation. One lever at a time keeps the tone collaborative and creates multiple opportunities to find movement.
Record offer terms, your ask, and the outcome for each compensation element in both offers.
Track competing offers side by side and see the full gap across every element before deciding which conversation to have first.
Record final negotiated terms for each lever so you have a clear picture of total value gained before you accept.
