I interviewed for an L6 Sr program manager role and was offered an L5 program manager position at amazon. I have 5 YEO and a masters. I saw the L5 role only asks for 2 YEO. TC for the L5 is slightly more than I make now. Would accepting this be a good long term move? Would I be taking a step backwards?

No - backwards

You can always move to another team internally, so it's not that bad.

L6 is the usual level for post-MBA. L5 is significantly more junior and more similar to a post-undergrad role with a few years of experience.
