OP is in a very good situation, he's making enough to live, more than he was, and can advance. No need to get greedy, and goodwill is marketable. | |

In that case, it might very well make sense to offer oneself " at a discount" to encourage someone to take a chance with them, but it isn't clear the OP is describing the same situation. | |

You get the title first, then worry about the pay if you're making enough. He may well start out as the lowest paid dev of his rank, but that's what puts him in the better position in his NEXT review. You need to play the game to get back in the action after being out of work | |

The company has a model for what they pay a developer at each level. Either they will evaluate the OP and consider him a junior, or they will realize that he is actually performing at a higher tier, and give a real promotion. By just asking for a title change, the OP is going to be very quickly the lowest paid developer at his level, and will be back on workplace.se with another question! | |
