Thoughts on applying for a position for a wrong class year? (e.g., a 2nd year applying for a 3rd year position) Is it a "Nothing to lose" situation or is there reason to be more cautious?

100% apply, especially if you’re just one year off. Nothing to lose. I wouldn’t apply to an eighth year litigation position if you’re a first year transactional, just going to look silly, but if you’re anywhere close, worth a try.

Do it! The job I currently have was listed for a 4-6 year and I was just barely a third year when I interviewed and got the offer. There was a lot of competition for mid levels when I was lateraling and I found that firms were willing to go down a year or two.

I am a senior BI analyst building ETL pipelines using SQL and python having 4.5 YOE(CCTC 12.4 LPA).
Recently I applied for a senior data engineer position with
Wingify and cleared 3 technical rounds. After that HR called me to discuss perks and benefits and asked for my expectations. He said he can try to get approval for 18 LPA + 1 JB and I mentioned I would expect 20 LPA.
It's been 3 days now and I haven't heard back. Also the job posting is removed from all the platforms.
Am I being ghosted?

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
