Soltace , I read your posts re the two civil service roles , which indeed may benefit Harl , I also read Stokey12 's post where he copied and pasted some relevant points about salary and right calibre of applicants.
It has often puzzled me why certain people apply for certain roles.
I know numerous folks who have firsts from Oxford, in law , went on the accelerated LPC and straight into FBD , S&M , A&O , blah . However after completing TC left to go in-house at BOE or Gov leg dept , by doing so they halved their salaries overnight.
Some chose to stay in academia , many superb surgeons stay in the NHS and forgo mega bucks by not running a private practice. I don't actually think that salary alone will preclude the right calibre of applicants.
The appeal of job security , incredible pension benefits ( was approx 30% ) may motivate some. I hope they get some super candidates whilst being mindful of the points Stokey12 carried to the board.
