even if you were to do personal account trading you can make much more than the starting pay.

certainly you can find other reasons to want to join???
The company has offered other positions but I don't see it getting anywhere. I spent the last 4 years getting overworked and underpaid, looking to call time.

Personality-wise and in terms of job security, I find the civil service a good fit. Looking forward to contributing towards a public sector that's more intuned with the ground.
