Right now, UK public sector is absolutely dire. A lot of us are wildly overworked and underpaid. I’ve honestly considered going back to the private sector because I could be earning about £10-15k/pa more, but at least in my specific sector I have guaranteed job security and some (largely false at this point) sense of making a positive contribution to the society I live in.
Job progression isn’t easy, especially now because of cuts and recruitment freezes. There’s no benefits other than always getting public holidays off. Our pensions were wrecked in 2015 and won’t even compensate for it.
Guess it depends on the country.
