It’s a dilemma in the career re-entry world: What level is the right level to return to after a career break?
Returning professionals who take a lower-level position than the one they were in before their career break may worry they are selling themselves short. Employers can be confused by the relauncher who applies for a lower level role, because they appear overqualified. Conversely, some returning professionals believe they should be returning at a higher level than what the employer views as available or appropriate.
