it depends on the nature of your 'struggle' in school. is it coping with marking/students' work/classroom management/office politics? in HQ it's a diff ballgame. hectic yes, cos you got soo many stakeholders to engage and liase within tight deadlines, but you dont have the 'burden' of dealing with students' work like finishing markings over the weekend, or dealing with CCA management. for office work, you need to be disciplined in managing your schedule as there's no 'timetable' per say like in schools. it can really be refreshing to be in a new work environment.
challenging yes, cos the learning curve can be steep. but to claim that its 3 times harder is an exaggeration la, unless in school you're the type of middle management who delegates happily in the name of 'grooming'
