Lots of folks have ended up in the position of being at a higher level than they maybe should be.
This sounds like a blessing, but it could quickly turn into a curse when you decide to move to a new job where you may be viewed as less experienced than other people at your level.
Overlevelling can happen for several reasons. It’s possible your current team doesn’t have a lot of rigor around promotions or hiring. It’s also possible a new company would offer a higher band to help give recruiters more wiggle room during compensation negotiations.
If you’ve been over leveled it means you may have a hard time making a lateral move and may have to think about making a more horizontal switch.
Whatever the reason, it’s important to ignore titles and focus on your experience level and the context of the team.
A great team will know your level and be able to get you up to speed.
