    60k VS 38k in govt....

    At these salaries, why would anyone ever want to work in govt?

        Probably yes.

        Also they lure you in with chunky pensions and other benefits such as wfh and flexi time, plus obviously the fact that you'll be paid to do feck all.

          Well because 38K isn't the top of non-management, around these parts it's a smidge under 50K. Also I don't believe 60K jobs are ten a penny, not around here maybe London, and certainly won't have the same working conditions.

          The arrogance is palpable, suggests everyone in private sector is not tulipe, which from experience is not the case.

          You ruined this with your arrogance. But I'd suggest the smart money would be on a 50K role with it's pension and working conditions rather than 60K private with it's undoubtedly tulipe pension.

            So, kids, the lesson here is: public sector jobs make you sour and grumpy like gables.

              Absolutely not, neither sour nor grumpy, happy as I am switching between private and public sector contracts.

              Maybe you just didn't like the reality of the truth.

                Being a permie makes you grumpy. Even more so in public sector as you’ve got to retire to make it worthwhile.

                  Well some govt orgs give opportunities to get involved in stuff that private sector cannot, there's more motivations than just money

                    If money is your priority why are you even considering perm?
                    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                      I had the same situation. Was on £550, offered perm, asked for £90k, they came back with £75k+10% bonus = £82K, pretty much said take it or leave it, I accepted, said they'd wait until 6 months was past to avoid paying agency fees. They then delayed the offer keeping me on a contract, then started suddenly finding spurious attitude problems, three months later I was gone.

                      Didn't go well at all! But no regrets
