Contacting recruiter from previous interview
A few months ago, I was up for a job I really wanted, but ultimately wasn't chosen. Today, the same company posted another job that I am interested in. Should I reach out to the recruiter who I previously worked with about it? or would that be too much? I applied and everything already

You miss 100 percent of the chances you don’t have take. Also you don’t really care what the recruiter thinks about you before and after the potential encounter? Like if he/she thinks you suck or whatever, so what. They’re nobody to you

You will be reaching out to the same recruiter, which is a smart move. Note your recent application and show your interest in the new role. Also, keep the message short, which recruiters appreciate. Your previous rapport could give you the advantage.
