The question I pose is should I venture out into the world of the Private Sector or stay in the warm and cosy busom of the public sector.
I only ask because I saw my equivlivalent job advertised in the paper yesterday but for a private company and it was £10,000 a year more than I'm currently on but what are they expecting extra for this £10,000 a year?
What do you think?

Laura - for the extra £10,000 a year they will expect you to work harder, longer and with worse terms and conditions. You know this. I wouldn't blame you if you still chased those bucks though! It is appealing, and what were you going to do with those extra hours in the day anyway?!

The private section for their extra ten grand, will want to suck the marrow from your bones and then chew on your carcass ......... and possibly cast your ground up bones to the four winds!! ...... but it's up to you!!

If you like the sound of the job, and you go to interview and feel you'd be happy there, why not give it a go? Plus it can only benefit you if you return to the public sector later to have worked in the private sector for a bit.

All depends on how ambitious you are, prepared to leave your comfort zone. Public sector jobs are a serious comfort zone - and you have to be a cretin to be sacked

I'm pretty torn to be honest. I am quite ambitious and would like to see some reward for years of education and debt but I'm also conscious that if we decide to have a family then I have the flexiblity to cope with work and children.

H whats the harm in going for an interview, I bet the benefits package will be just as good if not better. It has to be at that level to attract people like your goodself to cross over

Go for it.
You might regret it if you don't go for it, you might regret it if you do, either way you'll probably regret it no matter what so what do you have to lose.
It really depends what is more important to you.

Ooo get you. Is your lady coming around is that why you're cooking? Yeah pretty much. I could have given her Omelette or Spaghetti and Sauages from a tin....I decided to avoid the embaressment altogether. Have you got that Friday feeling then? Anything good coming up this weekend?
