Tell us what’s happening:

if hasattr(self, ‘_level’):
if self._base_salaries[new_level] < self._base_salaries[self.level]:
raise ValueError(“Cannot change to lower level.”)
I inserted the above code as the fourth if statement however the response was You should have a fourth if statement inside your level setter. clearly I have done that though.

Your code so far

class Employee:
    _base_salaries = {
        'trainee': 1000,
        'junior': 2000,
        'mid-level': 3000,
        'senior': 4000,
    }

    def __init__(self, name, level):
        self.name = name
        self.level = level
        self._salary = Employee._base_salaries[level]

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.name}: {self.level}'

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Employee('{self.name}', '{self.level}')"

    @property
    def name(self):
        return self._name

    @name.setter
    def name(self, new_name):
        if not isinstance(new_name, str):
            raise TypeError("'name' must be a string.")
        self._name = new_name
        print(f"'name' updated to '{self.name}'.")

    @property
    def level(self):
        return self._level

    @level.setter
    def level(self, new_level):
        if not isinstance(new_level, str):
            raise TypeError("'level' must be a string.")
        if new_level not in Employee._base_salaries:
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid value '{new_level}' for 'level' attribute.")
        if hasattr(self, '_level') and new_level == self.level:
            raise ValueError(f"'{self.level}' is already the selected level.")

# User Editable Region

        if hasattr(self, '_level'):
            if self._base_salaries[new_level] < self._base_salaries[self.level]:
                raise ValueError("Cannot change to lower level.")        

# User Editable Region

        self._level = new_level
    
    @property
    def salary(self):
        return self._salary

charlie_brown = Employee('Charlie Brown', 'junior')
print(charlie_brown)
print(f'Base salary: ${charlie_brown.salary}')
charlie_brown.level = 'trainee'

these are two ifs, not one, you should put them together in a single condition
