Staff → Senior downlevel but same comp?

Currently a Staff Engineer in Dublin (~€118k) and interviewed with ai scale-up in London for a Staff role.

I didn’t do great in the one of the rounds (fair tbh), so they offered:

- Senior Engineer title instead of Staff
- but still £120k comp
- plus they said they’d revisit level/title in 3-4 months based on actual impact
- also flexible on relocation via EoR initially for 3-4 months

Curious if this is common practice in London tech/startups? Especially the “prove it in role first, then recalibrate level” approach.
