Hi everyone, I recently applied for a job. How should I respond when asked about my salary expectations in the interview, given that I initially mentioned $1200/month in the job form but have since learned from the company website that they are offering $2000/month for the role?

$2,200/mo. Have you interviewed yet? do you feel like you have a good chance of getting the job? If you have some leverage (ie you feel like they like you), then shoot higher and you will likely have an opportunity to negotiate and come down.

Doesn't really matter what you put in the form - now you know they are offering more. And you may have interviewed for other jobs that offered more, so that original anchor from your form is irrelevant now.

Also I assume this is international or part time or something?
