StudyBlue interview questions

Initial phone interview with the recruiter for 30 mins. I was asked about standard questions that the HR had. There were 12 questions and 8 of them were related to automation even though the position was for manual testing. This eventually confused me and I asked for a higher compensation then I actually had in my mind. At the end HR told me this was manual testing position after asking the automation related questions and my expecting was high. So I agreed to what they would be offering based on market standards. After a week I got an email that they would be moving forward with other candidates.
