“Good question. The base matters, but I'd also value a title bump, a performance bonus, or a professional development budget. What's most flexible on your end?”

How to ask for a raise without sounding entitled (or apologetic)
Lead with what you delivered, make a specific ask, then ask what would need to be true for a yes. Don't apologise for having the conversation.

Acknowledge the request and decline clearly. Offer an alternative only if you genuinely want to and can follow through.
Read the guideHow to give clear feedback without sounding harsh

Before you start
A few good questions.
Am I speaking to an AI or a live coach?
No. Conversation practice uses prewritten scenarios, reply choices and coaching notes. You choose what to say rather than typing or recording a conversation. The coach notes explain the choices in that scenario; they are not feedback from a live coach or an assessment of your voice.
Is TalkCraft free?
TalkCraft is free to download and offers in-app purchases. Check the app’s purchase screen for current prices, access limits and subscription terms before buying. A free download does not mean all use is unlimited.
Do I need an account?
No TalkCraft account is required. Learning progress is stored on your device. App Store purchases use your Apple Account.
Does it work offline?
The app is designed for offline learning, with course content bundled on your device. Downloading, updating, purchasing and restoring purchases require an internet connection.
The conversation is coming anyway. Rehearse it first.
Practice realistic conversations, get instant feedback, and go in knowing what you want to say.
