“Deliver The Sandwich: (1) Genuine enthusiasm for the role, (2) 'Based on market research and the scope of this role, I was targeting $125,000', (3) Zip your lips and let them respond first.”
“Thank you so much for putting this offer together. I'm genuinely thrilled about joining the team and tackling this mission.”
“Based on the scope of the responsibilities and my background delivering measurable results, I was targeting $125,000. How close can we get to that number?”
“(Zip your lips and count to 10. Do not apologize or fill the silence. Let the employer respond first.)”

About Salary & Offer Negotiation
What is The Sandwich negotiation script?
Developed by Cat Breet over 20+ years in recruiting, The Sandwich cushions your counter-offer with genuine excitement for the role, followed by your specific compensation request, capped with strategic silence.
Can negotiating cause a company to rescind an offer?
When done professionally using Cat Breet's framework, employers do not rescind offers for asking. Recruiters expect candidates to advocate for themselves. Rehearsing out loud ensures your tone is collaborative, not entitled.
What is Walk-Away Minimum Pay?
Your Walk-Away Minimum Pay is the absolute lowest total annual compensation you can accept while meeting your financial requirements and feeling respected. Knowing this number prevents accepting lowball offers out of fatigue.
Can I practice negotiating equity or signing bonuses?
Yes. Career Cat coaches you on total compensation levers beyond base salary, including performance bonuses, sign-on grants, accelerated review cycles, and extra paid time off.
How long before my offer call should I practice?
Even a 10-minute practice drill immediately before your scheduled compensation call calms your adrenaline and gets the exact words rolling off your tongue.
Why Out-Loud Socratic Drills Win the Offer
Recruiters can spot live AI teleprompters in seconds. Career Cat coaches you prior to the conversation against proven recruiter rubrics so you internalize your proof and speak with calm authority.
