After I returned to maternity leave (senior management role in charity) my work were very accommodating in that they let me come back p/t and from home. The role was a fixed term contract and is about to end. I'm now ready to make the jump to freelancing, which I've wanted to do for a while.
I've now been offered a regular freelance contract at a lovely, well-respected organisation paying about the same day rate as I was getting at my old job. So far, so good.
But the new job is officer/coordinator level and I've been management, am I wrecking my CV by taking a step back? Would this ring alarm bells if you were a recruiter? Any advice would be great, I'm new to this!
For what it's worth, I do have other current freelance work (more creative type stuff) so was planning put this new job on my CV as "self employed: clients include" sort of thing. Hoping to look for bits of higher level consultancy too.
