Re: would you take a step backwards?

Hmm, I wouldn't do it Beth.

it's almost like a demotion.

You have worked so hard to get where you are at, that from now on you should go up and not down.

agree. Don't let her pressure you. Sounds like a BIG step back.

Re: would you take a step backwards?

It's a demotion (even with same salary).

I would turn it down. I would do it by asking her what the incentives are for you to work for them.

It sounds like it's more a benefit to them than you. I would even question their motive.

No need to give it any more thought.

Just not a good move for you for professional reasons. It's tempting, however I don't think you can (or I wouldn't be) happy doing work I am overqualified for.

Any word about the position you were waiting on the headhunter about?

Well.. sometimes in SOME cases, you need to take a step back to move forward. It all depends on the situation.
