I have an upcoming call with a recruiter to discuss an offer. Any suggestions for salary negotiation scripts that I can use to increase the offer? I’m doing it for first time so looking for tips and see how others have backed such requests with data. I don’t have any other offers to leverage but I’m in the final interview stages at a few other companies.

Check benefits (insurance premium, 401K, HSA etc.), if benefits are better with your current employer then that could be data points for negotiation.
Also, do you need to relocate to closer to city where COL may be higher then you can say - that offsets some of the raise

Q for HR folks! For companies who have offices in US and Canada, how easy would it be for American HR team to set up a role & compensation via the Canadian office for a Canadian remote worker? Would be a lot of work? But i know companies like Meta and Spotify do do this.

I'm Canadian and applied to a US remote role. Canadians don't need a visa for this. One of the ways would be to use Canadian entity's hr/payroll services. They showed keen interested but waned since finding out I'm Canadian.
