Hey OP, I did the exact thing in 2016. Interviewed out of state with 8 directors back to back to back. Crushed the interviews, didn't get the job. Near as I could tell, the needs of the account shifted or didn't evolve as planned.

Fast forward a year later, I had just begun my job hunt and had planned to hit them up, and they emailed me out the blue. I had one phone interview, then they flew me out, I had another 7 back to back interviews, got a job offer the next morning.

Moral of the story, if they reached back out to you, it's probably not because they think you're a top 10 candidate; it's because they think this role could be perfect for you, if you're interested. Anything else is a waste of time for them since you are a known quantity.

It's your job to lose. Go for it (if you want it).

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
