Is this a ridiculous idea?
I do seem to meet most of the criteria which is quite niche. It's 'hybrid' travelling around 250 miles however there is a direct and often connection.

I'm a month into a job that doubled my salary. Went from 22.5k to 44.5k.

Infact the offered me 40.5k, bottom of the scale. I negotiated up to top of thr scale, even though the lower offer was still a massive jump.

My advice - don't write your salary on the application. Just write about your skills and experience. There was a box for salary on the application form, I left it blank. They cannot insist you disclose it.

My jump was because I was massively over qualified. I have just come off the back of 17y as SAHM. I used to be a professional. Back to work in a low level admin job in the sector I wanted. 2y in I took the jump back to a senior leader role. I'm living it. A million percent can do it, love feeling valued again.
