How I used ChatGPT to negotiate my salary and got £8,000 more
I had a job offer on the table but had no idea if the salary was fair or how to push back without seeming difficult. I pasted the job description into ChatGPT and asked it to help me research market rates and craft a counter-offer email. The result was professional, confident, and specific — and it worked. They came back with £8,000 more than the original offer.
