I had a very promising all-day interview last week for a tech company- it ended with the recruiter basically saying they were open to anything within reason to get me to join.

Then on Monday I got a call from him after the interviewers had a meeting. They want me to come back in next week to meet the team for one of the roles we discussed, which isn't quite the role I applied for.

I'm not quite sure what's up- I was under the impression that a single all-day interview is the norm. I'm sure recruiters are experts at flattering you to sell the company, but I really expected a job offer or a declination.

What should I expect from this 'meet the team' meeting? Does it sound like they're looking for a culture fit as a last screen, or am I basically starting at square one with a new role?

Why do some people majorly inflate their salary range? Is this from some sort of self-help internet publication or something? I just had a bachelor's degree CS student ask me for $80k a year plus benefits for an entry level coding job. I mean, does he think I'm going to counter with $10k and then we'd work to something reasonable, like we're haggling in a flea market or something?

I just move on to the next guy.
I don't know where you're located, but 80K isn't unreasonable for an entry-level college graduate in Silicon Valley/ New York, is it?
