I'm interviewing for an entry level research role at a mid-to-large healthcare tech company (requires data analysis but specific software knowledge, compelling data storytelling, etc.). During the initial recruiter screening, she told me the salary range was capped at $70K. I agreed in the moment. I just made it to the final round and the recruiter emailed asking me to confirm my compensation expectations before the final interviews. I went back and looked at the job posting and the listed range is actually $60K-$100K – significantly higher than what she told me. I want to negotiate but I don’t want to blow up the opportunity this close to the finish line. A few questions: 1. Am I locked in to the $70K cap I verbally agreed to in the screening call? 2. Should I address the discrepancy between the posted range and what she told me now, or wait until I have an offer in hand? 3. What’s a reasonable number to give her right now to keep the conversation moving without anchoring too low?…
