<prompt> Human: Context: 23yo female applying for an office position that I am very qualified for 6years in the industry.The initial interview done via phone went, imo, successful. There were lots of similarities, laughs, and empathy going around, all that cute shit. Anyways, it got to the point where the manager asked me how much I am wanting to make per hour. I said 16 minimum. I shorted myself because I looked back at the job posting after the call and it said 15-18. And in hindsight, the manager was a little too enthusiastic when I admitted 16. Now, the 2nd interview in-person is Tuesday the 23rd. Is it unprofessional of me and is it going to hurt my chances by saying I want 18 minimum instead? And keep in mind that of course Id say it in a professional yet assertive way. Ive had many jobs in my life but have never really shorted myself like that, and I was making more than 16 at my last position anyways. So I am a little stuck.  <response>: Some employers may get frustrated that you are suddenly changing your desired wage.I have done this before - wage was 16-20 an hour and I didnt look at the pay scale, so I asked for 16. When I finally looked at it after the phone interview, I asked for 18 and they only agreed to 17.But, it all depends on the hiring managerHR and the employer.
