What VP said. They’re hiring for that role because that’s what they need or because it’s what they can afford. If you want to apply for your next title, go for it. But this company would just think “Okay, so let’s just keep interviewing people who actually want this role.”
Chief
Yeah, that would be weird. Why not apply for that level ?
Chief
One of two things:
- they don’t think you’re ready.
- the role isn’t scoped or budgeted at that level.
I would ask why you can’t interview at that level.
if it’s that latter, budgets/scope won’t change that quickly.
Are you a few months away from being promoted at your current company? Or are you assuming yoe = eligibility? If it’s the former, stay and get it and then interview if your aren’t happy there. You have to assume your new company has other people also ready for promo and you’ll be coming in new and not first in line. If it’s the latter, don’t assume years are the only thing that make you eligible.
