100% overleveled, imo. Being underleveled literally erases years from your career. It will take a little while for you to "wash out" as you put it, and in that period you can just look for another job with a better anchor point. In the mean time you'll be getting paid significantly more. I also think that the levels are noisy. A good enough L4 can manage a "good enough" rating at L5 almost always. The hard part is actually getting promoted.
