Just sold myself way short in terms of salary range with a recruiter I just spoke to. Job goes to $125K. I quoted $85K.

Anything so can do?

I will never financially recover from this.

Say the 85k was based on a 3-day work week

Tell them. People are allowed to change their minds. “I misspoke the other day and really underquoted/undervalued myself.”
“I had a chance to better consider what I’m targeting in terms of salary, and now am hoping for a salary closer to_________”
You could probably word that better but just some thoughts.
If 85k isn’t enough to get you excited for then new role then the recruiter would probably love to know what will get you excited.

You are not dead in the water. Recruiters are a dime a dozen. In the case of this one: “I did some additional research on comparative salaries, and upon further consideration, I’m revising my range to XYZ.” Done.

Or something to the effect of, “After learning more about the position and the requirements of this job, my ideal compensation would be xyz”

Get another offer somewhere else, and behind to leverage it.

Pretend you didn’t say something specific in future conversations. Next time you speak, make sure you clarify that compensation is based on the tasks /responsibilities

Thats a bit fatalist imho. You will recover and making 85 or 125k is very comfortable. You also made the bed without research.
