Did you ever work a job you were overqualified for and how it made you feel?

Career

And was it your choice? Or where you oversold during the job interviews or was it just a financial decision?

For context I realised recently that I was way overqualified for my new position. But I have great benefits so I might stay and look for something else in the meantime. It’s just very frustrating some days because I am supposed to have a senior role but I get the same tasks as some juniors on the team.

I needed the job at the time so I didn’t really see the red flags but the position was definitely oversold to get me to accept the offer
