Would you leave public sector to join an NGO?

Why would you compromise your pension now?

NGOs blow ass. If you ever wanted to come back, you'd be stuck into the rubbish single scheme.

If you're looking for a fresh outlook, do something else within the PS instead and preserve that pension

So you have 6.5 years left in increments before your LSI maxes out. Unless you aren't happy where you are is the 2k extra worth it over job security. In addition you'll have to go through the whole probation period again with the NGO.

it’s hardly worth staying in public sector for 3.5 years in the spss.
mid get some financial advice OP but if job is interesting and you think the culture is good go for it.

29,000 euro. How did he come up with that figure? Lol

on topic - don’t leave if security is super important to you. But you should consider how you can get a move to another area of public service to a job you might be happier in.

Definitely not

No, it's not worth it.

Left the PS, I had previously spent 20 years in Private sector, to work in an NGO, worked like a dog, CEO micro managed everything and everyone, huge staff turnover, averaged 30% per year, fewer holidays, really nice people, but underpaid for what they do.

now back in PS and not leaving.
