How can I negotiate a salary when I answered the “salary expectations” question in the recruiter screening? I answered before I learned the recruiter actually thought a more senior role was a better fit for me. Now, looking at the job description for the recommended role, I’ve realized the salary range is about $20,000 more than what I initially shared.
If I receive an offer, is there potential to negotiate the pay in this job climate? If so, how should I do that?

As a general rule, you can negotiate anything as long as you’re willing to walk away

your salary expectation convo does not equal what they will offer. It’s typically a gauge to see if you are aligned before moving further. See what the offer is first. Then make a case for more if warranted (but need something to back it up)

Can you explain that for a more senior role your expectation is X because it involves more responsibilities? I don’t think anyone would expect someone to want the same salary for an analyst role v manager role.

When BigLaw attorneys interview students, how soon afterward do they give feedback? What kind of feedback do you give as an interviewer at your firm (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, thumbs up, thumbs down, veto)? Does everyone get in a room or do you just submit the forms to one hiring partner, and/or to a black box? If you don't click with the student, what would make you still give them a thumbs up? Sorry if my questions are a little neurotic... !
