Re: [[job title]] offer: a note on compensation

Hi {{first_name}},

Thank you for the offer. I'm excited about [[company]] and the [[job title]] role.

I'd like to discuss the equity component. Based on the stage of the company and the scope of this role, I was expecting closer to [[your target equity amount or range]]. My thinking is based on [[brief reasoning: e.g., "comparable offers at this stage" or "the level of ownership the role requires"]].

Would there be room to adjust the equity grant? Happy to talk this through on a call.

Hi {{first_name}},

I've reviewed the full offer for [[job title]] and I'm ready to move forward. The role, the team, and the direction all feel like the right fit.

The one thing I'd like to adjust is [[specific component: e.g., "an additional week of PTO" or "a $5K professional development budget" or "a start date of [[date]] instead of [[date]]"]]. If that works on your end, I'm ready to sign.

Hi {{first_name}},

Thank you for the offer for [[job title]]. I'm excited about the opportunity and the team.

I'd like to ask about remote work flexibility. Would the role support [[specific arrangement: e.g., "three days remote per week" or "fully remote with quarterly on-sites"]]? This would be a meaningful factor in my decision and I'd like to understand what's possible before finalizing.

Everything else in the offer looks great.
