What is the salary negotiation coaching, and what does it cost?
It is standalone coaching for one live negotiation, run by a recruiter who supported more than 500 pharma salary negotiations from the hiring side. For €349 net you get offer and market benchmarking, a counter-offer strategy, a total-compensation analysis, and a live session with a negotiation script you can actually use. You do not need a coaching programme to book it. The offer on the table is usually worth far more than the fee.

- Counter-offer strategy: what to ask for, in what order, and how
- Total-compensation analysis, looking beyond base salary to the full package

Net price, currently invoiced without 19% German VAT. Full payment on booking, by bank transfer or PayPal.
Who it is for
This is for pharma professionals with an offer on the table, or one coming, who do not want to leave money and terms on the table by accepting too quickly. It is equally for anyone weighing a counter-offer from a current employer, or moving between a CRO and a sponsor where the package structures differ. It suits every function, from CRA and Regulatory Affairs to Medical Affairs, Market Access and leadership roles.
Why an insider makes the difference
I sat on the company side of hundreds of pharma negotiations. I know how offers are constructed, where the real flexibility sits, which levers beyond base salary are negotiable, and how a candidate can push without damaging the relationship they are about to start. The number everyone fixates on is rarely the only thing worth negotiating, and it is often not where the biggest gains are.
How it works
- Free 20-minute call — we confirm where the offer stands and that coaching is the right use of your time.
- Benchmarking & analysis — I map your offer and the total package against what I have seen from the recruiting side.
- Live session & script — we build the counter-offer strategy together and I give you a script you can use in the real conversation.
- Follow-up — support by message as the negotiation plays out, in your target language.
Frequently asked questions
What does the pharma salary negotiation coaching include?
Offer and market benchmarking, a counter-offer strategy, a total-compensation analysis that looks beyond base salary, and a live coaching session with a negotiation script you can use. The price is €349 net, currently invoiced without 19% German VAT.
Is it worth paying for salary negotiation help?
For a mid-career or senior pharma role, a single improved negotiation usually returns many times the fee, and the uplift compounds because future raises are calculated from a higher base. No honest coach can promise a specific figure; what this does is remove avoidable mistakes and give you a structured, evidence-based approach.
Can you tell me exactly how much I should ask for?
I will not invent a precise number, because a credible figure depends on the role, the company, the region and your leverage. What I do is benchmark your situation against what I saw from the recruiting side, map the total package, and help you set a defensible target and counter-offer strategy.
When should I book the salary negotiation coaching?
Ideally as soon as an offer is likely or on the table, and before you respond. Earlier is better, because the strongest moves are set up before the number is even discussed. It is also useful when weighing a counter-offer from your current employer.
Do you offer salary negotiation coaching in German and Polish?
Yes. The coaching and the negotiation script are available in German, English or Polish, matched to the language and norms of the market where you are negotiating.
