Can I Go Back To My Previous Company On A Lower Designation

Hi there,

Can anyone please tell me if it is okay to go back to a previous company with a lower designation? I was working as an Assistant Manager in a reputed company, but due to some issues, I had to resign. I was without a job for more than a year and a half. My former company is willing to rehire me at a lower designation but in a new role and with a decent package.

Please help me navigate through my confusion. Can someone offer advice?

Thank you.

Hello nzr75,

It's your decision whether to go back to your previous company or not. Whatever decision you make, you should have faith in it.

Hi,

It would be advisable only in case of severe desperation. I presume having spent 18 months without gainful employment it is the first thing to do. However, if you are having other discussions in progress, you may adopt a wait-and-watch approach; otherwise, grab whatever is possible.

Kind regards,

Thanks so much for your reply.

Currently, I am working with a charitable trust on a lower package. I am confused about whether I should opt for a lower designation with a high package or a high designation with a lesser package with the charitable trust.

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I'm confused about whether to go for a lower designation with a high package or a decent designation with a lesser package with the charity trust.

I would suggest you to opt for a higher designation with a lower package because I am sure everybody knows nowadays it is easy to get a salary hike but not easy to get a designation hike.

You should continue right now and keep looking for a similar profile that you were handling 18 months ago.
