* Don't bring up a possible salary figure DURING the interview process
because you'll immediately be dumped if your expectation is beyond what
the hiring manager *wants* to pay with no consideration given to your
non-financial advantages (very desirable skill set, consistently good
accomplishments at previous jobs, impeccable references, etc.).

* Don't try to negotiate a possible salary figure AFTER the interview
process because the hiring manager already has determined what you'll be
paid and your resistance is futile (again, even with your very desirable
skill set, consistently good accomplishments at previous jobs,
impeccable references, etc.).

Is one or the other more successful in your option? I know that both
approaches are used, but I just thought I'd ask.

Well, you could try recontacting whoever you interviewed with to
determine if there is an opportunity to revisit their classification of
your grade compared to your actual experience.  However, my guess is
that in the case you postulate it will turn out they know perfectly well
that your actual experience would make you a TW2,
3 or 4 but you got the TW1 offer because that's all the budget for the
position will cover.
