In my first interview (new to the country and without proper research), I shared a salary expectation and clarified I wasn’t familiar with local ranges. In the second interview, they referenced exactly that number as the proposed salary. I’ve since learned it’s well below market level. I now have a final interview scheduled. How can I renegotiate and align closer to market standards after anchoring too low initially? For context I'm a young expat, woman and it's a big company.

Don't assume that you've locked yourself in. They may have repeated your number simply because that was your suggestion. You can always tell them now that you're familiar with the job and all its responsibilities you'd be expecting more. And provide the number you now find reasonable.

Point to something - anything - that's come up during the course of interviews as justifying requesting more. Responsibilities you weren't initially aware of just by reading the job description and going through the first interview or something like that. You'll have a lot better chance of getting it approved that way than by referencing the local market rates.

Im currently going through industry change.
Im a pastry cook with 4yrs experience and the average salary start for this position is now at $22/hr here in vegas, especially in the strip. But cooking/baking is not my passion. So im changing into veterinary medicine and im seeing that the starting rate for a vet tech is around $16-18. Why is that?? Why are people in the vet med industry being paid so low?? Something needs to change. Labor of love aint enough for the people in this job.

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.
