I have been very heavily based in the Public Sector, both Local and Central Govt organisations, current gig is my first real foray into the real world and am finding the transition both breathtakingly brilliant and painstakingly awful.
First the good points:
The speed in which things progress is awesome, the programme I am on is basically a complete rebuild of a Group of Companies core brand, and is projected to take 9 months from start to finish. In the Pubic sector a job of this scale would take years.
The bad:
I have been brought in for a "Best Practices" point of view, however I am clashing with a short term results driven approach, and where an answer of "because its best practice" was acceptable in the past I am having to fight to get my point across.
Its very challenging, but I am really enjoying it so far, has anyone else made the jump and lived? Or gone the other way and ended up slitting their wrists over red tape
