When I made a job application I was asked what my salary expectations were. The answer I gave seems to be too low for what the job is and I found out they were offering the same job 6 months ago and the lower end of salary stated was 2k above what I said and the higher end of the range was 8k above what I said my salary expectation was.

There is a real possibility that I might get this job offer. How do I counter an offer with a salary based on the figure I gave without sounding rude and getting told to do one. I just want a fair salary for what the role is.
