Feeling stuck after years in the public sector
I worked for several years in the public sector on a contract basis. About three years ago, my position was downgraded as part of an administrative decision. I asked for an explanation, but I never really got a clear answer.
I also wasn’t registered with " daman " , and no annual paid leaves and my salary was very low in USD.
Since leaving, I’ve been struggling to rebuild my career. I still haven’t found a decent private-sector opportunity that would make me feel like I’ve actually moved forward ,gaining new experience, developing professionally, and earning a reasonable salary.
I know that going back to the public sector probably isn’t the future I want, but unemployment is honestly exhausting. Sometimes I feel like all those years I spent working there were wasted, and that I’m still trying to catch up.
