Im Currently Tier 2 Working Visa Current Annual Salary £21,111 375 Hours Week Expiring Jan 2022

I'm currently on Tier 2 working visa (current annual salary: £21,111 - 37.5 hours per week) expiring on Jan 2022. I would like to extend my work visa. However, the going-rate salary for my current (SOC 2473) job title is way too high so I'm thinking of 2 options:-Apply to switch to a different code (2472) with a lower going-rate salary, the job description is slightly different between two job titles and the going rate is lowered from £31,900 down to £25,700 (39 hours per week) -Apply to extend visa for the same job code (2473) with a shorter working hour per week at 35 hours. Previously I submitted my last visa applications stating my weekly hours is 37.5 hours. I would like to receive some advices about which option is more viable to me and whether there is any other options.
