Going full-time is probably the better option, (very) generally speaking. Especially full-time in a government job. Be careful, though - there are plenty of government jobs where they burn the midnight oil :) | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:44 | comment | added | Jane S | I'm currently a contractor, so my current employer has hired me for a specific role. There isn't really the opportunity to move otherwise there. I have done management roles before and they didn't overly appeal. However, there is considerable common sense in your answer and very much food for thought, thank you :) | |
