I put $105k as the expected salary for a role in payments... And they agreed immediately??

I applied to a payments company (remote). They asked me what salary I was looking for. Honestly, I didn't know the range, so I put $105k assuming they'd come back with a lower number or ask to discuss it.

They didn't. The recruiter replied basically like: "yep, that's fine."

And now my brain has gone into the usual spiral:

- Did I ask for way too little
- Was that just their normal budget
- Or did I somehow guess the right number by accident

The weirdest thing is there wasn't any back-and-forth at all. I feel like they know the whole pay range and we're all just throwing numbers into the air hoping we don't mess it up. How do you decide what number to say when they ask first?

Honestly, I realized I need to check salary bands much better before casually writing down a number like that lol.
