The idea of using AI as external validators to break the imposter syndrome loop is clever. I've seen people negotiate down from market rate before even starting conversations, basically doing the employer's work for them. The reframe about compensation as a system of components rather than a single number is probabyl where the real leverage lives, especially when cash constraints exist.
I do this all the time in my brain over even the smallest things.
To me what I do seems so simple, like anyone could do it but I have just begun to realize that most people can’t and wont.
Thank you for this read! Great read about changing your self worth mindset!
Always good to know we're not alone!

Agreed. I'm getting great advice from AI advisors every day.
