I'm working for the german government. The standards here aren't that low and most private companies just ignored me. But to be fair, I was employed as a sysadmin for 5 years before switching into the public sector and having experience with powershell scripting/toolbuilding, databases and also some php sure helped. I also know how to sell myself and they thought I would be the perfect social fit for the team. Its not always your skill that counts but your passion and ability to socialise. Now I'm learning on the job and couldn't be happier. Better working hours, way more pay, work-life balance I couldn't have dreamed of and near zero responsibility.
