On a separate note, would you think It's better to embark on a career in policy rather than Finance / Procurement, even though MOF has recently rolled out the Finance / Procurement specialist tracks for Finance practitioners within the public sector?
Thanks again! |
While it's a specialist track, I think the scheme of service is still the mx scheme? If the scheme is still the same, then I'm not sure if this specialist track will substantially enhance career prospects.
Why not try out policy first (2 years) and switch to finance/procurement if you don't want to stay in policy? I think switching from policy to finance/procurement is easier than vice versa, all things being equal. Once you have tasted policy work, it's likely that you won't be keen on finance/procurement.....finance/procurement is full of Ops and SOPs.
