If you decide to move down a level in your next role, for learning purposes and for more wlb, is that frowned upon by future employers and looks bad on your resume? I've been think about it but haven't pulled the trigger. Also fear that getting a lower level job will be tough if they see me as 'over-qualified'. For context, this would be going from a director role to a SM or Manager role.

It looks bad on paper unless there is a clear shift in work nature, geography or brand, but recruiters are pretty understanding because this is an old issue. Have a good explanation. Recruiters and hiring managers know that titles vary across firms. They also know about moving from high levels at less prestigious places to lower titles at more prestigious places. Finally, they know that downlevels can happen when you enter a new field.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
