How do you apply for a job that you’re qualified for, but lacking in “years” experience? Would you apply?

Yes. Everyone wants a bunch of years experience but no one is willing to pay for it. They will almost always take the relevant experience over years experience

Yes absolutely apply unless it's asking for 10+ and you have 2 or less

So what qualifications do you have that align with the job description? Focus on those in your cover letter...or try getting someone you know to recommend you for the position. Even if it's a friend of a friend

I am a woman and I apply for jobs that I’m may be only 50% qualified to do? I am a fast learner though so I usually pick up things after someone tells me once

I was told women apply for jobs when they meet 100% of the requirements, and men apply for jobs when they meet at least 60%. With that in mind, remember you are going against people less qualified. Apply and see if there is HR software that rejects you automatically

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
