If you undersell your freelance rate during the initial interview by like $5/hr, is there a way to backtrack that if you get offered the position?

For $5? Not worth the fight. Not sure if the initial interview counts as a rate agreement either, but it's circumstantial I suppose.

If its a different person maybe, I'd let this one go as a learning experience. I've negotiated a higher rate after my first contract with a company ended then they asked me back at a later date for a different project.

as a junior employee, the experience outweighs that alone.

No, sorry. It’s not worth the negative impression it would make to up your rate by $5 after giving an initial rate. Freelance assignments are temporary. Finish the freelance term and learn for the next freelance gig. If assignment is longer term you may be able to renegotiate after spending some time there (at least 3 months.) I really wouldn’t stress about the $5/hour lesser rate. Better to be working,

You’re absolutely right, thank you!

I interviewed for a role with the actual hiring manager more than two weeks ago. After that, the hiring manager gave great feedback, set up a group interview 2 days later. That went great as well and I received great feedback in response to my thank you emails. Since then it’s been crickets. I know part of this time included the 4th, so perhaps no big deal. But I sent a follow up to hiring manager yesterday and no response. Bad sign? Should I follow up with HR rep instead or just wait it out?
