So if you come in and state you actually wanted 4,000+, when I'm only prepared to give leeway of up to 3,700, you've axed your position quite a bit.
What if, for example, the range you are working with was 3,500 to 4,100 but as I did not update my expected salary, I stated it as 3,300. with the base of me having 2 years working experience.
