The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Prepare my answers to questions about salary. Role, level, and location: [ROLE_LEVEL_LOCATION]. Market data I found (with sources): [MARKET_DATA]. My target range, minimum, and walk-away point (private): [MY_NUMBERS]. Total compensation items I care about (bonus, equity, benefits, leave, flexibility): [COMPENSATION_PRIORITIES]. Rules about pay questions: [JURISDICTION]. Return a table: Situation | What is being asked | Response (word-for-word, 20 to 60 words) | Reasoning | Follow-up. Cover: application form asks for a number; recruiter asks for expectations early; asks for current salary (check local rules on whether they may ask); employer states the range first; employer asks me to name the range; an offer below my range; an offer within range but without benefits I want; a request to decide within 24 hours; negotiating after a verbal offer. Add: how to build a range from data (show the method and the arithmetic, labeled as estimates); a list of non-salary items to negotiate; wording for asking for time to consider; and a checklist for comparing offers in total. Do not invent market data; mark estimates as [VERIFY]. This is general information, not financial advice.
