Ask HN: What do you do when you are only getting interviews for senior position?
Ask HN: What do you do when you are only getting interviews for senior position?

I recently experienced a layoff and have been looking for new opportunities. While I have received several interviews, they have primarily been for senior-level positions (I did not apply for these positions). My initial work experience after college was at a company with a less structured engineering culture (I only found this out after leaving). My subsequent role posed a significant culture shock as the engineering practices were more advanced, leading to a challenging transition for me. Despite my efforts to develop my skills and improve, I was eventually laid off. Currently, with four years of professional experience, I am being considered for senior positions. However, I view myself as an intermediate developer who has room for improvement in my engineering practices. I am facing a challenge in accurately presenting my skills and experience to potential employers. On one hand, if I present myself as an intermediate developer when interviewing for senior role, I risk losing the opportunity. On the other hand, if I accept a senior position, I am concerned that I may not be able to meet expectations. What do I do?
