And HR gave me 3.5k, was wondering if I should have asked for more or this is the amt I deserve, can any kind souls enlighten me?
Once you quoted a price, you can't really retract it. Imagine some merchant sell you an item $10, you accepted it. Do you think you as consumer allow that to happen?

If you "regretted" quote too low, the only way out is to bail out e.g. accepted other job offer etc. But do consider the overall situation and package, if this job is really what you like to do , future career progression etc.
