Public vs Private sector
I've done the odd contract in the public sector when times were hard and it's true, you are not looked upon favourably afterwards and it's a long road back to top-rate contracts, but you still learn from every contract.
Different mentality, frustrating technology, too many meetings, so obviously not to everyone's taste.
On the plus side, money could be on a par with private sector, contracts tend to be in terms of years rather than months and STILL allowed to smoke within the building in designated areas, or so I'm told. When I used to smoke, we had smoking rooms on each floor (concession to the unions?)
