Probably underpaid. Either definition of underemployed being used, I think underpaid is easier to remedy. I already have the job or title, just a matter of fishing around until I can find something that makes more money.

Short term: underemployed but looking for a position you’re qualified for.

Have got an offer from Maersk. I'm really interested to join. But on seeing the recession scenario and some companies withdrawing offers, I'm really afraid whether Maersk will also follow suit.
1.)Will they honour the offer letters once given.?
2.) How is the company for job security in general.
3.) How is it currently given the recession scenario?
