Fast forward 1.5-2yrs later, I tried to apply for a role at another public institution, was told the package will be the same as what I was currently having.

While I do like the nature of my job, I cannot fathom why must I sacrifice my potential earnings. If I was in other industry, I believe the future earnings will be more substantial. Hence if you feel that compensation is equally as important as the nature of the job, I would suggest you to skip healthcare. This is because the only way to increase pay is to farm your way up i.e. using time to clock experience, pray get promoted, to move up the pay scale.

Just my opinion, up to you to decide. Cheers.
Same thing happened to me when I tried to jump. Massive regrets to join healthcare. While money is not everything, seeing my non-healthcare peers enjoying the better things in life (decent job with competitive pay), makes me feel bitter towards my younger self for making the wrong choice.
