When I left the private sector, I was already financially independent. But I wanted to see if I could get into a career which would stretch longer and give me work life balance. Unfortunately, my tenure out of the private sector was very short and I never managed to get used to the culture of the public sector. It's actually sad what public servants had to endure in the past few months. One senior civil servant implied that they were paper-pushing eunuchs and then Parliament took turns to take pot-shots at them. Having some experience with bureaucracies, I realise that a lot of civil servants are stuck in their roles and had nothing to do with the red tape they are subject to every day. When I was a eunuch, financially, I was at my peak. I had great pay, a superb 7-digit portfolio and fairly decent work life balance......
