I've just taken a substantial cut in salary to move from public sector to a private sector position. It was primarily a work/life balance decision, to allow me to spend more time at home and less time in work. Happily, I'm a good bit away from €8 per hour, but I've still had to deal with a substantial cut.moneygrower said:..given up a reasonably paying secure job, (just under €30,000 a year),that they feel is pushing them over the edge for an €8 an hour job that's in the new field they want to go into it, and not regretted it?

If this is the case then you should seek advice from your GP about this. If you are really suffering from depression, whatever the cause(s), then you need to seek medical attention.moneygrower said:it's causing me a lot of stress and leaving me feel depressed.
New joiners to the public sector start at the bottom of the scale. But even apart from that, there was a considerable drop for me. But I'm probably getting paid about the same hourly rate - just working a lot less hours!umop3p!sdn said:I always thought that public sector employees got paid far more than their private sector counterparts, especially if they've been in the job a few years.
Fair enough but people suffering from stress and depression may not know or admit it. You have posted enough about these issues to make me, for one, concerned that this is something you should consult with your GP about. Feel free to take or leave my suggestions.moneygrower said:Thanks folks, this is just what I wanted to hear!
Clubman I appreciate your concern but I know myself well and I'm not in need of medical help, just a change of career. Thanks.
