So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?
