From that experience, what do you think of the learning value of being in a job you are not qualified for? More specifically, do you think you learned more from being in the job you weren’t qualified for than you did in in other jobs that matched your level better?
No, the gap was too large for me to overcome. Meanwhile I learned a lot in jobs I was overqualified for, because I had so much free time and room to take risks.
That is interesting. My guess would have been that you would learn fastest in jobs that are just a little above your current skill set. (Learn fastest does not equal ‘most happy’).
Although, your claim does seem to fit better with my lived experience.
