During a second interview, the employer asked my earnings requirements. I gave a range, and he agreed to the top number. Later, I learned companies typically pay more for this job. Can I bring up salary again?

So many people undersell themselves and base their salary requirements on their past salary, rather than what the market will bear. Past salary may be inconsistent with the market, especially if you've been with an employer who has gone through financial hardship, salary freezes, or M&A activity. Excellent resources for assessing your current market value include information from peers, listings on job boards, information from recruiters, and surveys done by professional organizations.
