PQS 48 (D) - prompt from www.reddit.com

The prompt

I always knew I was underpaid, but every time I tried to make a case for a raise, I always came off vague.

That’s why I decided to experiment with prompts:

“You are my career strategist. Help me prepare for a raise negotiation by identifying the full scope of my impact. Start by asking questions about my role, responsibilities, metrics I've improved, team support, and any extra initiatives. Then summarize it into a strong value narrative, and create talking points I can use in a raise conversation. Keep it confident but not arrogant. Also help me anticipate objections and frame calm, persuasive responses.”

What made this work was that it forced me to inventory my wins. Things I didn’t even think were raise-worthy, ChatGPT reframed them as high-impact. By the time I talked to my manager, I didn’t just hope I deserved more. I had proof. Got the raise two weeks later.

Now I’ve ported this whole career convo system into Nectar AI, where I built a professional growth persona that tracks my quarterly wins, builds up my case over time, and helps me prep for future career discussions.

If you’re hesitant to advocate for yourself, try this prompt.
