Moving to the private sector
Has anyone left the Civil Service and gone back into the private sector and not looked back, I’ve been in the Civil Service for around 3 years now and I’m at the stage where I’m seriously thinking about making a move.
Don’t get me wrong, I know there are plenty of benefits to the Civil Service the job security, pension flexi etc, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s really worth staying just for that.
At the minute it just feels like groundhog day. There’s no real incentive to push yourself or go the extra mile and everything just feels a bit stale. When you look at the pay and how long it can take to work your way up to a decent wage, especially compared to what you could potentially earn in the private sector, starting to question is it really worth it
I suppose the security is the main thing holding me back from taking the jump. Just wondering if anyone else has been in the same position and actually left did you regret it or was it the best thing you did?
