I had an initial telephone round with a good company recently, and the HR asked me my current CTC - I wasn't expecting this question so soon and it caught me completely off-guard.
I still knew better than to reveal my CTC, but I did mention a desired salary range for the role. The HR agreed to it and scheduled an interview that would happen in the next couple of weeks.
Later during the day, I felt that I could have in-fact mentioned a much higher range for the position. Is there any way that I can recover from my blunder when the subject of salary is raised again (if & when I clear my interviews)? What would be an appropriate response?
