Blue Origin - interviewing for a lower position
Feb 24

Hello,
A recruiter reached out to interview me for a position lower than the level I am interested in. The initial phone screen is completed and the second round is next week.
When should I bring up that I would like to be considered for a higher level? What is a good way to do this?

Just be honest with the recruiter. They want you to be happy if they make you an offer.
I can guarantee nobody in level 3 has more than 10 YoE.
They interviewed me at senior level (blue don’t have a staff level) and downgraded me to level 3.
Not a single bad remark during interview except that I don’t have aerospace background. I was in automotive all my career.
Felt too bad they would play that card. Nobody at their company at level 3 has phd + 10 YoE.
A second person offered a L4, senior engineer, $185K, ~20 YOE. This person isn’t interested in management (who had years of people management experience).
