Yes. If you do get to the offer stage, you can always state that after you learned more about the role during the interview process, you think $XYZ amount is a more reasonable salary. They probably expect some negotiation anyway.
Ah, the old “I’ll give you some ambiguity, you give me a number.” game. When it happens, I say sure, I can you a ‘conversation starter number right now’. That number is the average salary for that role in that city - rounded up to a zero at the end of it. Know that number going in. Lay it on them quickly and confidently when asked. Be sure they understood that that number is where you’re willing to start at when the actual salary conversation happens. No commitment made. Start there at the salary conversation and then take it to where it needs to be with everything you’ve learned throughout the interview process. It works for me. Hope that helps in the future. “Conversation starter” is the key phrase to use.

Thank you for the practical advice! Will use this next time.
Well you’ve already played your hand. Never tell your number. How can you know what your salary should be without knowing fully about the position and what responsibilities and expectations it entails? All jobs are not created equal, even if the title is the same. Companies often hope to hire at a lower title than the job’s actual responsibilities. Anyway, when you interview, tell them you can’t give a number before you understand more about the role. If they press, say if we get to a stage where we need to discuss salary, I’m sure we can reach a number we’re both happy with. You should never give them a number. They will short change you. BUT you have every right to ask the salary range they have in mind.
OP, I had a great mentor and read a book about salary negotiations. This is not a skill we are born with and learning negotiating strategies is a helpful skillset to develop. Best of luck to you!
Yes you can. Have some justification (size of client, team, responsibility, more market research etc) for what you learned to change your mind and be prepared for one of two things. 1. They will play ball or 2. You got to the second round cause you were in budget and now you’ve priced yourself out and could lose the opportunity.
If you’re not fine losing it over the discrepancy in what you originally asked for and what you want now, think about others things to negotiate. More PTO?
Always give a range...never a number. And never go first with a number.
If they don’t complain that your ask is too high then you haven’t asked for enough
