Public sector gig kills finance sector option

[newbee]

Well have an offer for BA role with bit of PMing in finance sector(client offered gig at interview ).

But since then have had 1 interview arranged and alsmost certainly will be called for another tomorrow for a PM gigs in public sector.

now sure will get the offered the public sector gig.

Renowned board, opinions wanted will going for public gig kill my bluechip finance sector aspiration. Or does it matter, mind you Public sector rates are £50-100 more here.

Don't take the finance job - you'll just spend all your money on LP Pink & DP trying to keep up with the traders, perhaps with an occasional trip to a brothel.

But atleast you would have all that money to spend

You missed a bit: "mind you Public sector rates are £50-100 more here"

Personally if I ever was that desperate to have to work in "the city" (another bunch of egotistical ****** who think there's only one city ), I'd tailor my CV accordingly.

Don't forget, those contracting in the public sector are usually doing so via a big corporate (who may even be blue-chip), so it's easy to just put their details on the CV and not even mention the public sector.

Just do what the agencies do anyway, tailor your CV for the specific vacancy, and make sure you've got your story straight for any subsequent interview!

Iam never going to work in city, so not really bothered about the ''the city guys''.
But in the long run, want to make sure that I have flexibility with gigs and not be cornered.

Excellent advice. As to the original question, bearing in mind the financial climate, do you think it is better to be in finance or public sector over the next 12-24 months?

No decision to be made till you have been offered both posts. Worry about it then.
