If you find out a place was willing to offer you more than you originally asked and you’re still in the interview process - is it a bad look to change your answer further in the process?
Example:
-What’s your salary range?
90-95k.
- great we’re looking at 100k so that’s perfect.

Pro tip: in the future, if they ask what you’re looking for, turn it around by asking them their budget range… then take it from there. Good luck, OP

Hello everyone, I am a fresher and I recently joined a management consulting firm(3 months) with 12+LPA and I realised MC is not for me.
I tried giving it a shot for the first 2 months but then I am just dragging there after. Anyhow yk how it's in MBA, campus placement leli without a thought plus lack of experience in everything. It's tough out there.
I am desperate to switch to creative/marketing/branding/advertising. If anyone could help/guide/refer me in the right direction that'd be great.

I recently (4weeks) started a new job as the only attorney a start up. I was told I would be assisting with compliance & governance. After coming on board, I’ve learned I am the compliance officer & the corporate secretary in addition to my attorney responsibilities. Is it fair to ask to renegotiate salary considering when I provided my range I wasn’t aware of the extent of the “assistance” in compliance & governance?
