I recently interviewed for a position at a tech company, aiming for a mid-level software engineer role. However, after the interview, I was offered the chance to apply for a lower position instead. I'm torn about whether I should continue with this opportunity or keep looking for something that aligns better with my skills and salary expectations. Some people suggest that if the lower role fits my skills better, it might be a good way to get my foot in the door, while others advise against accepting a job that pays less than what I initially aimed for. I'm really considering my options and would appreciate any advice.
