You probably want to bear down for another year. Not only is manager title/bonus a solid plus, but many places have already put on hiring freezes, especially places where you will be coding on their pnl as SG&A. That aside, pre-virus I got a 20% raise to manager and then another 30% raise six months later when I bailed, to give you an idea.

Doesn’t hurt to search and phone interview for practice.

But never take less than you’re already making, OP. I’ve heard seniors usually get a 15-20% jump if they switch to a job of similar or higher level. You might even get these numbers by just jumping ships to another b4
