So I have seen a job ad where the salary is way above what I’m currently on. After having looked at the job description I have 5+ years experience in every single part of what they are asking for.
I just feel like I’m not worthy of that salary?! How do I get out of this mindset and just apply for the job / be confident about it??

Just go for it. If you're qualified you stand a good chance of getting an interview. When it comes time to talk about salary get them to state a number and negotiate from there. Be aware that sometimes salaries in job postings are exaggerated. Still, if the number is higher than what you're used to, just learn to accept that. It's possible you're being underpaid currently.

I love this. Thank you

I’ve felt that way too in the past, but if you check every box on the description, you’re not “unworthy”, you’re exactly what they’re looking for. Sometimes the confidence comes after you hit submit, not before!
