Nobody will reject you because you quoted high. Go for 120 and Negotiate later

Just had a call yesterday and they asked my target - I said $105. Ugh. I'm just clueless and don't wanna say too much

So let's say I get this offer and they give me what I asked for upfront - is it a bad look to then try to negotiate higher since I low balled myself?

It depends on how you negotiate. But everybody wants a high salary so nobody would mind you trying to look after yourself .

I make $105K right now and told another company I'm interviewing with I won't leave for less than $125K base

So bump yourself ~15%

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.
