  Easy way to discriminate is whether you'll have your budget or not. Yep. Though it's usually easier for them to just go with the bullshit line, "We can't afford to pay someone with your level of experience."

    On the other hand, I've certainly interviewed people that wanted a leadership position, but didn't do well with leadership questions. But, they did do well technically. Offering a position lower than the one advertised, in that situation, seems okay to me, provided it's not a step down from where they are now.

      That's a better situation, a leader is not a manager and there's more overlap between a lead and a dev position.
