Skip the Junior part, go for mid level and find a way to justify it. Somehow show that you already have 2 years of experience and you now qualify as mid.

- pull_my_finger 4y agoWouldn't you be cheating yourself out of any kind of mentorship one would expect as a junior (in addition to lying and putting yourself in a position to slow your team down r/t lack of expected experience) ? Title inflation is a thing, but maybe they're not "totally" arbitrary.
