PROMPT

Evaluate this job offer and tell me what it's really worth. Offer details: - Role: [title] - Company: [name] - Base salary: [amount] - Bonus: [amount or structure, e.g. "10% target"] - Equity: [amount, vesting schedule, type — RSUs, options, etc.] - Health insurance: [company coverage percentage, deductible, or "fully covered"] - 401k/retirement: [match percentage] - PTO: [days or "unlimited"] - Remote policy: [full remote / hybrid / on-site] - Other perks: [list any] - Location: [city/state] - Commute: [estimated minutes and cost, or N/A if remote] Comparing to another offer? (optional): [paste second offer details] I need: (1) Total compensation in annual dollar terms, including estimated benefits value. (2) Market comparison for this role and location. (3) Dollar value of benefits where those estimates are reasonable to make. (4) Hidden costs (commute, relocation, cost of living). (5) If comparing offers, a side-by-side table with total comp and a recommendation. (6) What to negotiate and why. (7) A 3-year projection when the equity / vesting data makes that possible.

How It Works

Feed your Claw the full details of a job offer: salary, bonus, equity,

benefits, PTO, remote policy, and any other perks. It calculates the

total compensation value, compares it to market data, and highlights

what's strong, what's weak, and what to negotiate.

What You Get

  • Total compensation calculation: base + bonus + equity + benefits in dollar terms
  • Market comparison: how this offer compares to market rate for the role
  • Benefits valuation: estimated dollar value of health insurance, 401k match, PTO
  • Hidden costs: commute costs, relocation expenses, cost-of-living adjustment
  • Side-by-side comparison if you have multiple offers
  • Negotiation priorities: which parts of the offer have the most room to improve
  • Long-term projection: 3-year total comp including vesting, raises, and bonuses

Setup Steps

  1. Share all offer details: salary, bonus, equity, benefits, PTO, perks
  2. Your Claw calculates total compensation and compares to market
  3. If comparing offers, share all of them
  4. Review the analysis and identify negotiation priorities
  5. Use the Salary Negotiator skill if you decide to counter

Tips

  • Always compare total compensation, not just base salary
  • 401k match is free money — a 6% match on a $100K salary is $6K/year
  • Equity in private companies should be heavily discounted — it may be worth $0
  • Remote work saves $5K-$15K/year in commute and wardrobe costs
  • Unlimited PTO often results in less time off than a fixed policy
  • Growth potential matters — a lower offer at a company with clear promotion paths can beat a higher offer at a dead end
