Who it is for

Professionals receiving or expecting a German employment offer who want a structured approach to base pay, bonuses, and benefits.

What you leave with

A written negotiation brief with your target range, walk-away line, talking points, and a practiced conversation plan.

Included

  • Review of the offer letter and current compensation package
  • Market-range orientation for your role family and location in Germany
  • Written negotiation brief with priorities and fallback options
  • One live rehearsal of the salary conversation
  • Follow-up notes after the employer responds

Not included

  • Legal representation in disputes
  • Tax advice or social-security calculations
  • Guarantee of a specific salary outcome

How the engagement runs

  1. You share the offer (or draft) and role description under confidentiality.
  2. We map constraints: notice periods, competing offers, relocation, and non-negotiables.
  3. You receive a brief and we rehearse the ask in a live session.
  4. You negotiate; we debrief and adjust the next step if needed.

Preparation

Bring the written offer or draft contract, your current Gehaltsabrechnung if employed, and any competing timelines.
