Received interview with a boutique for the level below what I applied. Somewhat in the middle for qualifications but want to apply to the more senior role. Recommendations on how to proceed? Call HR?

Get in and get a first interview, make sure your answers support you be in the higher level role, and if you get called back for another interview/discussion, that is when you bring it up. The worst they can say is that they don't feel that you are qualified

Or is it better to get the foot in the door and after the first round convey interest in the higher level role?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
