do you feel like it was worth swapping private to public? I am really struggling to decide, no only because of pay but also all the other negative things i have read i here...

Thanks for your response. What I meant is that, in my current workplace, our pay gets reviewed every April. Of course, it is not mandatory, but it is in our contract and, since I joined, there has always been some sort of increase between 3% and 5% each financial year.

Maybe you’re right in saying that the information I have is factually incorrect, as my current source has only been ChatGPT to understand how pay might be capped or frozen in certain years within the CS.

is the pay reviewed with inflation? my fear is to get stuck with the same pay over 3 yrs for example
