This is a really interesting read - thanks for sharing! The fact you do these regularly means you'll be able to take account of the skills and experience you accumulate over the longer term and adapt your views / job scope accordingly - seems super valuable!

You must have great insight into the impact of Civil Service roles, and I'd be so keen to hear your thoughts on this now you've spent a fair amount of time thinking deeply about the CS and hearing about people's experiences. It seems that due to the huge and sometimes overwhelming nature of the CS, having someone to guide Civil Servants, to build cohesion, to help talk through solutions to problems etc. is super valuable (in the way that you have) - especially as it's a top rated EA career route and can feel pretty messy and difficult. In that sense it's a shame you're not continuing down this path. I'll keep an eye out for anything you might share and your broader views on the CS in the future! :)
