Interviewed for a job and got an offer at a big company. Wasn’t prepared to talk salary and I severely lowballed myself with the recruiter. Haven’t received a letter yet. Does anyone have tips for how I can negotiate? It’s not too late is it?

You're kind of f'd. Best you can do is say "based on additional clarifications of the role responsibilities and current market rates, I am looking at _____"

No, it's always in their interest to get you at rock bottom. As alluded to though, you may end up at the very bottom of the pay band (but higher than your initial ask) so just keep that in mind.

In the future, it's always good to proactively ask about the pay bands up front

“The amount I provided was the minimum amount for which I would consider this role. After additional research and understanding of the role, $X is the amount that makes sense to me”

like

What number? You must have misheard me, THIS was my number

What did you ask for?

Lol…

Op generally they have a range where they need to start you so you can’t be below the band. So fingers crossed you arent as low as you think you are. I would just send a follow up email sooner rather than later stating what your *new expected comp is. That way, you get ahead of it.

For context I think a lot of it is in stock (base is low)

I learned that someone we just hired, in the same team, 1 level lower, came in making 20k more than me. This role is based in SF, and I'm in the midwest.

I have my master's, two years with the company, and was recently promoted last quarter.

I feel some way about this, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my manager? I'm grateful for the raise they gave me and the promotion last quarter, but I don't understand how someone at a lower level can be making more? I'm I being greedy?

I’m being recruited back to a bank I left 6 months ago. Was contacted by a recruiter this week because I had indicated in my exit interview that I would consider a return to the firm in the future.

Would it be wrong to ask for an additional $25k to go back?
