Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Would you say I should bring up my concern to them? I don't need promises or guarantees, but I would have liked to know what is their career trajectory and promotion system.

Absolutely. If you are tempted to turn this job down because it’s not the right fit, instead of turning it down, you should bring your exact concerns to them, both that you feel you are already leading a team successfully and that you want a clear pathway to leadership responsibility again. An excellent employer is going to listen and adjust to your concerns.

The average employer on the other hand is just going to lie and tell you exactly what you want to hear so they can hire you, consequences be damned.
