Should I apply for a position that is higher than what I do right now? If you decide to take that reach, you're gonna take that chance in yourself, right? Three things that you can do to be confident in your decision and go and crush it in that new higher position with a higher pay, hopefully. The first one is that if you apply and you get selected, it means that the employer sees something in you, sees in your profile that you're qualified.

You're entering a battlefield here and you will have to win. So it means that you'll be taking detailed notes. You'll be relying heavily on yourself to research things online and figure them out. Everything is searchable now and it's easy to do.
