Question for those who have done public and private sector work.
Does public sector have an additional dimension that private might not e.g. that delivering value is more complex when public money / taxes are involved. Where a PE firm just wants ££, a hospital has other considerations and objectives. I guess the question really is, do more public sector firms chase qualitiatve objects that are harder to measure than simply profit in the private sector, or is this a conception I should do away with.
The context is applying to a public sector only firm and I'm suggesting that the public sector has that additional challenge which private does not come across so much, and that this is something that appeals as another element of challenge.
