I applied for a role that had a $200-$225k salary range, and in the application, I put my desired salary as $215k. After receiving a first round interview a few days later (scheduled for this week), I reopened the job posting to see the salary range was actually $200-$275k. Given this, I would have been much more comfortable putting $250k as my desired salary (and $250k certainly seems fair given my experience is on the upper end of this role). When/how should I bring this up?

Wait for the offer. You're not tied to the number you initially stated, as much as they might try to make you feel you are. There's clearly room in the budget to give you the $250k you want. You just have to convince them over the course of interviewing and negotiating that you're worth it.

Everything is negotiable. When you get the offer, just counter.

Increase when you get the job offer

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.
