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?

How you play it depends on how badly you want the role. If you’re willing to take a seniority cut (and possible pay cut/same pay) then follow through with the interview at the junior level, and then possibly ask about the senior role once you have an offer in hand. If you aren’t hurting to get in the door at this company, take a shot and ask about the senior role upfront.

They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
