I always ask them what the pay range is before I throw out my number. I’ve had the opposite happen where the pay range was much lower than I was looking for so I asked if there was any room for negotiation. When the recruiter said no, I told her I was going to politely decline because I didn’t want to take a pay cut.

Went into the interview in a target not a care given, got offered the role within 24 hours and with a 35% pay increase.

HRD1 - That would be a dream for me. 35% would be a life saver. Did you negotiate or they just offer?
Wow! Great story and reminder. Sadly no similar examples here
