> At what point do you think taking a step back in seniority is worth it?

If you don’t get offers at the level at which you feel best matches your level of experience it may be time to adjust your expectations. If you apply for a position and the firm feels your skill set is better suited for a more senior role then your all set.

It’s not personal. Management loves hiring competent people for the positions they need filled and don’t like hiring people without a skill set that can make their team meet expectations.
