I recently switched company, but now i am realising that the role which i have been assigned is not the one which was offered to me.

I then decided to go back to my previous organization. They are ready to take me back. Salary difference is not much(about 15% less than my current ,but approx 65% from my last drawn salary in my previous org). But i used to love my work and role in my previous organization.i switched because of money.

Is the decision right to go back ?

Title is PM but playing both roles... I’m very straightforward and to the point so I just answer questions (yes, no, I’ll confirm,etc.) instead of giving the background/reassurance to clients and coworkers with my answers or thoughts. I don’t think it comes across as short but I find my manager always has something to add on and I feel like I messed up.
