I applied off the cuff to a role at a tech company (non FAANG). Now invited to interview. Role is an analyst level asking for 2+ YOE in consulting. I have 4.5. Now I see an opening for a Sr Analyst (same team) asking for 3+ YOE....is appropriate to bring up leveling in the intro call with the recruiter?

Yes. You were already invited to apply, they arent going to nix you for asking

This is the correct answer.

I would use the intro call to explore more about current openings and identify the one that fits your profile best.

like

Yes. This is your best chance to sell yourself and set expectations.

All is fair game in job searching. My recommendation is to make them love you during the interview and ask for the higher level (based on a concise listing of how you exceed the senior levels qual requirements, I.e. not just years of experience) after you know they love you.

I’d bring it up before hand that you’re targeting a different level. Depending on the difference in level it may result in a different interview loop. Basically nailing the easy interviews doesn’t give them enough signal for a more senior role in some cases.
