I have an interview coming up with a company that laid me off at the beginning of Covid. I had worked for them for 7 years and done well for them prior to the reduction in force layoff. The job I'm interviewing for is a different role than what I previously did and the posted pay is significantly less than what I was making previously. I understand they can't make a huge leap from the posted compensation, nor pay me what I made previously. How do I approach the comp issue if/when it comes up?

I would consider approaching the negotiation with taking out a lot of the background, except the part where you previously performed well. You have a proven track record with the company and I’d use that to my advantage. I would just also try to look independently. Figure out the ranges for the position, area, and overall company. Make the case you deserve more based on examples of what you have done.
