      I don't need to read between the lines. Op is right here to clarify that yes he has less experience.

      Thank you for giving insightful info! I’m in talks with a hiring manager about finding a better position fit for my experience level.

    • Welp. Congrats. I wonder if the manager is incompetent? Seems red flagish to me. You also are expected to perform at that level when they come to you to solve issues at scale costing the company hundreds of thousands, or run a team to ship a new service.
