Joey Nguyen, a senior clinical trial contract and finance analyst, discusses his journey from public sector roles to his current position in the private sector. Initially motivated by the need for better financial compensation after working in nonprofits, Nguyen values the opportunities for growth and salary negotiation available in his new role. Although he acknowledges the downsides of company culture and the challenges within private sector experiences, he aims to maintain a balance between his personal well-being and the meaningful work he seeks.
In the private sector, there are more opportunities for growth and easier salary negotiations, yet one must also contend with company culture.
Having transitioned from the public to private sector, I found a better balance of pay and personal well-being while still seeking meaningful work.
I had been working multiple jobs in the public sector to support myself, yet my current role allows me to focus on a single job.
While fulfilling, my nonprofit experience often failed to provide financial stability, prompting my move to the private sector for better pay.
