I've applied for two jobs, but I've only interviewed for one of the two..

I've applied for two jobs, but I've only interviewed for one of the two.. and the role I have not gotten an interview for has a higher pay and would suit me more with my skills. The pay difference is really drastic. Role A is ~$42k/year with commission, Role B is $60k/year. Both roles are fully remote. How could I go about asking professionally if I am still being considered for Role B? Thankfully I know many people within the company, but I of course want to be appropriate when asking if I still have a chance at Role B.

Thanks in advance!

    How long ago did you apply? Move forward with the lesser role and if close to offer (or not), check in with A illustrating your interest

    i applied on the 17th for both roles and got an interview two days later for Role A, but I never heard back about Role B and its still listed on their careers page
