<prompt> Human: As background, I was sought out by a potential employer with whom I had previously worked, who is very interested in hiring me. After completing my in-person interviews, the potential employer has contacted me numerous times and is very excited at the prospect of me as an employee. Today I had my final phone call in the interview process, which covered potential salary. When asked for my minimum desired salary I accidentally gave 52k in the heat of the moment. This is actually lower than my current role, and I shouldve stated a figure upwards of 60k. The employer confirmed that my salary figure was definitely doable, and the call concluded. Is it reasonable to call back and restate my minimum desired salary? I want to clear this up with the employer ASAP, so they do not offer me too low of a salary. My first thoughts were to use the excuse that I mistakenly said 52k slip of the tongue, when I meant 62k. Another possible argument to make is that this new job entails a significantly longer commute, which could justify the higher salary. How can I fix this?! Thanks in advance for any replies; everything helps!  <response>: I would try calling back and just tell them in the heat of the moment you accidentally told them your current salary, and that in order to leave your job you would require a 10K increase.
