Please do correct me if I'm wrong!

HR skill sets are transferable, but it will be tricky from public to private. Reason being you will be more of a generalist in public, whereas you will be more specialise in private. At least for the bigger companies anyway (not so much on SMEs).
It's a misconception you can draw equivalent, because public pays you better (starting salary higher) more often than not. Unless you're saying you wish to enter those MNCs, then it'll be the same story again, about how your skill sets are different from what they are looking for. Same work scope, but different environment, and culture, and work responsibilities. If you can't get into their MA programme, what makes you think you can get in after 2/3 years of generalist HR role in the public sector?
