Has anyone ever been down levelled at the offer stage? Like applied for a Principal Engineer but for Senior Engineer in a good software product company.

Experience 8.5 Years - Usually in Principal Band (8-12) as per the company but that product company put me in Senior Band where the Work ex range is 5-8 yrs.

Won't the down levelled tag already put the person at a disadvantage when he starts at the company?

Feel that downlevelled tag will be used to judge me in times of appraisal etc.

In many product based companies, Principal Engineer starts after 10 years and below 10 are often senior engineers.
Not everyone will make you a principal engineer at 8.5 years for sure.
