I'm interviewing with Intuit and had an issue I wanted to get thoughts on. The posting I applied to was for a "Principal" role. After my inital interview, the hiring manager gave very positve feedback, and said I'd be a great fit for the role, which the recruiter passed on to me. However, the recruiter also said that they would likely be changing this hire to a "Senior" role and asked if I'd still be interested in moving forward.

The problem for me personally is, I have been in Sr roles far too long and adding another lateral move doesn't look great. The recruiter said there is always opportunity to promote up, but I was really looking to move up by taking a new role and hopefully work to promote from there.

I'm wondering if I should push back and let them know I'd really prefer the original title I applied for or is it likely to hurt my chances of getting an offer.

    If you wouldn’t be happy with a senior title, don’t move forward.

    don’t take the offer too seriously and use it to leverage another role unless you really like intuit

    edit: just saw you applied to “Principal”. was assuming intern

    you are being downgraded by two roles. Intuit has staff and then principal in the tech ladder. Also, Principal are offered way lot RSU and bonus(25%).

    Is there a reason they are downgrading the role? Is it because of compensation?

      We hadn't even discussed compensation before the interview. On the follow up call we did and it was still in the same range that I expected for the original Principal role title.
