Negotiate your offer with the person who used to make them
A 1:1 session to negotiate the specific offer — or raise — in front of you. With a unicorn CFO who built these packages and received them.
What's at stake
Most people negotiate a major offer a handful of times in a career. The company does it every week — and a win today doesn't stay a one-time number. It compounds into every raise that follows. See for yourself:
A $15,000 negotiation, at 4% annual raises, compounds to about $180,092 over 10 years — at the same employer alone. And that's before it carries into your next offer.
Same-employer, raises as a % of base. Ignores promotions, bonus, equity and the carry to your next offer — all of which push it higher. It's a floor, not a forecast.
Why me
I've sat on both sides of this. As a CFO I built and approved the offers — I know where the give is, what's scripted, and what "best and final" usually isn't. As an operator and a banker I've received them and priced talent markets across industries. You're negotiating once; I've run this conversation hundreds of times.
- $5Mn+ saved in vendor negotiations
- $1Bn+ raised
- $20Bn+ in M&A deals
- UnicornCFO built the offers
Rohit Agarwal — ex-investment banker, CFO, founder and angel investor. He's built the offers, raised the rounds, and sat in most of the seats this touches.

- You have a live offer, a counter to make, or a raise you're about to ask for
- It's a senior role with meaningful base, equity, or both — roughly $100K+ total comp, in any function or industry
- You want a specific plan for your situation, not a generic playbook
- You'd rather walk in with a scripted, well-structured ask than wing it
Honestly, not if
- You want someone to negotiate for you — this coaches you to run it yourself
- There's no decision live yet — come back when there's an offer or a raise on the horizon

How it works
- 01
Apply & share the situation
Tell me the offer (or the raise), the company, where you are in the process, and what you'd push on. I reply within 24 hours — and only take it on if I think I can genuinely help.
- 02
The session
A focused 60–90 minutes: we map your real leverage, decide exactly what to ask for, script how to ask it, and rehearse their likely responses so nothing catches you off guard.
- 03
Your written strategy
After the call you get a written summary — your leverage, your asks, and the scripts — to carry straight into the conversation.
What you walk away with
- A clear read on your actual leverage — what you can move, and what you can't
- The specific asks, prioritised, with the number and the structure
- Scripts for how to ask — and how to respond when they push back
- A written strategy doc you take into the room

Related questions
Should you negotiate a job offer?
Almost always — and at senior levels it's expected. Companies build room into their offers; not using it leaves money on the table and, just as often, leaves better terms (equity, title, scope, start date) unclaimed. A well-structured, respectful ask very rarely costs you an offer, and the upside is routinely tens of thousands of dollars.
How much can you actually negotiate on a senior offer?
It depends on the company's bands and your leverage, but on a $200–400K package the gap between a weak and a strong negotiation is commonly $20–80K in year-one comp — before equity, which compounds. The session is about finding where your specific leverage is and using it precisely.
Is this just base salary, or equity and the rest too?
All of it — and base is often the least flexible part. Equity, bonus structure, level, title, scope, sign-on, and start date are frequently where the real value is, and where most people don't think to push. With equity especially, we'll pressure-test what your grant is plausibly worth — dilution, vesting, and the terms to push on — so you negotiate from a real number, not a headline one.
What if my offer has a tight deadline?
Flag it when you apply — I reply within 24 hours and can usually move quickly for time-sensitive situations. Even a same-week session changes how you handle the deadline itself.
Do you negotiate on my behalf?
No — this coaches you to run it yourself, which is both more effective and keeps you in control of the relationship. You walk in with the plan and the scripts; the conversation stays yours.
Is it worth the fee?
If a session helps you capture even a fraction of a senior package's negotiable range, it pays for itself many times over. And I only take it on if I think I can genuinely help — if I don't, I'll tell you up front.
