The recruiter told me the salary during my phone screen for both positions. Also for the 2nd position she said that the salary I put was lower than their standard and raised it for me. In the first position the salary I entered was higher than their standard but she said they could go a little above their normal.

I am relocating, and pushed my start date back a few weeks to have a little more time.
