When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Just the other day I ... saw a piece on someone I went to school with ... . All this and he was several years below me, so my career achievements thus far are modest by comparison.

"junior to" тоже встречается, хотя, по-моему, реже. К тому же, обязательно требует дополнения, а "below" можно оставить в свободном полете, как в оригинале:
attended the same school as we, a couple of years below

: "a couple of years below us (me)" - this was my first thought. It's the usual informal way of saying it.
