    You'd be retired before you'd make it back. Take for example the AO scale, the difference between point 1 and point 12 (LSI2) is €28,372.

    Well obviously if I am at the top of my payscale in my current grade it would not be smart to go back to point 1 in the next grade up however if I was only on point 3 or 4 than it would not be 2 bad. Other things would need to be looked at like further distance you may need to go and price for parking etc

    My wife left the PS when things took a turn for the worst. She was pretty much at the top of the AP scale.

    She's been working in the private sector for the last few years, and recently applied for a similar position to the one she had - she got the job but was told she'd have to go back to the bottom of the AP scale!! Despite having more experience and accumulating an advanced qualification since she originally left the PS.

    anyway between the salary hit she'd have had to have taken, combined with hits in other areas it just wasn't worth it.

    No sympathy from me I am afraid; dont like, dont take it or move to private sector. Spare a thought for AOs doing the work (and then some) of HEOs and earning up to €28k less instead.

    Hey guys and girls.. Sort of a related query here ... What if you're a HEO and you succeed in getting a third secretary position in DFaT.... Would you go on to the nearest point of the third sec pay scale nearest to your HEO point or start at the bottom of the third Sec scale? I.e.: 29k€ ?
