If an interview doesn’t go well for a senior position can you “downgrade” to the more junior position?

Sometimes they do that if they like you still. Had interviews that didn't work out and the interviewers voluntarily pushed me into other interviews for me

Thanks! I think the interview went well but I feel like I didn’t answer some of their technical questions that great. I’d be down to downgrade, I want this job 🤣

Depends what went wrong. If you can’t demonstrate the required experience/level of responsibility, maybe yes. Bombed the case or said something stupid, probably not.
