Recruiter: what are your salary expectations for this role? Me: I’d say about 50 to 60. Recruiter: yeah, I’d say 60 to 62 is about right for the role and within the budget. They heard “50 to” as “62” so they heard “62, 60” I don’t know if I’ll get an offer but if I did I would’ve happily accepted 50k as I’m unemployed. Won’t say no to 62K though.
