Talking about salary
Use AI to plan what you will say and to practise the conversation, but get the numbers from real market data and people in your field.
01 · The idea
Salary talks are uncomfortable, so many people accept the first number or never ask for a raise. Preparing helps more than confidence.
AI is useful for the words. It can help you list your results, write a calm opening line, and role-play a manager who pushes back so you can practise replying.
It is weak on numbers. A chatbot does not know current pay in your city and industry, and it may give a confident figure that is out of date. Check salary surveys from recruiters, job posts that list ranges, and people you trust in the same field.
Have a range in mind, a reason based on your results, and a plan if the answer is no, such as asking what you would need to achieve for a raise in six months.
