Im thinking about styding MSc Environmental Economics and Climate Change at LSE, this was a good video! Unlike you though I've been working for 10 years already without a degree 😅. About to finish my BSc in Economics at the Open Uni and apply to LSE for 2025
I worked at the Home office for 6 years. Recently I have tried getting back in after taking time off travelling. I am currently on a reserve list for an EO position as well as an AO position. I scored a 6 out of 7 and have been placed on a reserve list. There isn’t any consistency I’m afraid. I would have thought after scoring so well and having 6 years experience would have got me straight back in and not placed on some reserve list. The recruitment service needs a restructure which I’ve been saying for years but nothing has happened. It puts people like me in a tough situation who have the years experience as well as the comps to back it up. Unfortunately it all comes down to who is sifting the applications, sadly they won’t take time of experience in a certain role which to me is backwards.
I was speaking to an advisor about joining the civil service thanks for your video it is informative 😊
Hi Felicia, I am currently on the fast stream and it has been awful. This is a common experience and I have heard that the drop out rate is incredibly high as it's a poorly managed course. Do you think I can constructively explain my experience on youtube without facing some sort of law suit from the fast stream? Thanks!
Hi - I'm thinking about applying to the fast stream in the future - would you mind expanding on your experience?
@@elliesmith2059 Sure, I was disappointed by the following: 1) Virtually all jobs in the civil service, let alone the fast stream, are completely online. There is very little interaction in the offices between colleagues as the teams are not together in one office so you will have to do all your meetings online and have very little in-person contact. This is something that I did not think to check but it makes a big difference to everyday working life. 2) You probably won't be around people your own age at all most days 3) The postings are incredibly random and unglamorous e.g. admin roles, excel etc.- they used to give out 'high-flying' roles but after complaints from fellow civil-servants, 'fast streamers' are used to 'fill the gaps' these days. Forget 'international postings' or anything like that. 4) It is far from 'fast', 50% of the roles are very slow - to give you some examples, I was given about 2 tasks to do in my first 4 months which took about 2 hours. 5) The 'development opportunities' are great advertising but empty promises. The 'development courses' will point you to listen to TED talks and the 'development calls' will give out very general useless advice like 'be positive' or 'have a growth mindset'. 6) The income is very low compared to if you got the same exact role outside of the fast stream. E.g. My friend who is the same level of me working in the civil service but through a normal job earns double my income!! 7) The route to entering the FCDO is virtually impossible and forget international postings before that -> a large proportion of fast streamers enter the scheme aspiring for the FCDO. Honestly, if I were you, - reach out to other fast streamers on linkedin and ask them for their honest experiences so far. I found that on the surface people can say 'they're fine', but if you ask them whether they are really enjoying their role, they might open up to you. The application process is long and if you get the job in the end, it will be hard to reject it so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into from the start. Those are just a few things I wish someone had told me before I applied, I'm sorry if that has dampened your spirits. Better now than later though! All the best! :)
They sacked you you mean like innit.
Some of you are truly mean spirited. It's jarring.
I’m getting strong 70’s disco vibes from this young woman. Totally off topic I know.
This!
Thanks for informing and helping.
Hello and greetings from Luxembourg! Congratulations for your effort and dedication. I would like to invite you to join me in a trip to Zanzibar and Tanzania in November. Thank you for your attention.
sounds like Indian civil service
Very useful and informative video 👍
Your perspective on the matter appears reasonable, although it may be perceived as an excessive response. It is possible that you may have taken her words out of context or failed to see the bigger picture,missed the forest for the trees
Hmmm, as a British Civil Service lifer, 30 years and counting, I'd offer some additional information ,'truth' and advice;- The Civil Service isn't one giant organisation where people work to achieve the same thing, for example 'public service '. The Civil Service is made up of many branches and many different ways of working and many different types of work, you could be a research Scientist, a vet, a van driver or messenger. There is very little standardisation of rules and regulations, there's supposed to be with regard to disciplinary procedures, employee rights etc , but in reality such things are somewhat open to interpretation!. Political bias is quite evident, and individuals political preferences and opinions are broadly known. Sexism, Racism and general discrimination are rife as is bullying and favouritism. There are very few departments that operate in a slow, calm good old fashioned Civil Service manner, most are terminally underfunded, understaffed and top heavy with 'managers' . Most departments are constantly under debilitating pressure, struggling daily with enormous backlogs of work which creates stress, anger, illness,fear and toxicity in the workplace. The higher your grade, the least work you will do, and if your young, female, black and are affiliated with the LGBTQI+ community?, You will find it very easy to join and career progression can be positively meteoric!. Overall, The Civil Service is overflowing with management, dangerously understaffed elsewhere, and training and leadership are woeful. The financial reward below mid-tier is well below the private sector, leave is pretty good, IF you can actually get it!, Paid sick leave is reassuring and inevitably useful!. As for the famous Civil Service pension??....... Catastrophically eroded over the last 10 years and now pretty much worthless below 35 years service and a pay band of around 38k .Think carefully........
38k, not bad for clapping like a seal in endless meetings going YEAAAAH 😅
@@marklewis1750 ....you have no idea sonny !.
Why is the pension so useless? It's mentioned on job ads that the average contribution is 27%... That's triple what most financial companies would offer in the private sector?!
@@TheEamz yes well..... It isn't. And even if it were,- 27% of a tiny salary is very, very little!. To get a decent civil service pension you must be one of the higher end earners , a B3/HEO and above .
@@TheEamz ....yes, well I'm afraid it isn't!. And even if it were, 27% of a tiny salary isn't much!. To get a decent pension out of the civil service you need to be on a very decent salary and a higher rated scale,- B3/HEO or above.
You've made me think!
Elle est trop incroyable et sublime 🔥🙆🏼♂️👑🏇

Heya which stream were you in? :)
This was so insightful, thank yo u :)
Hello and greetings from Luxembourg! Congratulations for your effort and dedication. I would like to invite you to join me in a trip to Dominican Republic in March. Thank you for your attention.
u have a bad english tone..so much show off
Lovely video, thanks! I turned 30 this year, still not sure where my skills can take me, but I think CS is the one. No free biscuits is a huge concern though😅
Wow so much stuff to do for the job! Seems impossible to get it 😅
I love this! Sometimes things are not as they seem and although I don’t know you, I’m proud that you felt comfortable to follow your gut and build your career your way. At the end of the day the only person who’s gonna live your life is you and it’s great you’re doing a role that is fulfilling 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Okay! You are needed in Downing Street please! You are the future lady!
Really good video setting out the pros and cons and have recommended to family and friends looking at joining the Civil Service. The only thing I would add is that it sounds like you worked in roles that weren't very fast paced and that the work of an economist in Government can vary massively. I agree that bureaucracy is a big barrier but also can be an enabler if used correctly.
It’s having to pay for everyone’s leaving meal for me 🥺 I don’t even wanna be there to say bye.
Great video! Did you study full-time or part-time? I'm about to start a masters at LSE and I'm deciding whether to study part-time or full-time.
Im glad im not the only one thinking this way👌🏽😂
Another great video - thank you!
Hi I would like to ask if there is any website that I can search to find a job as a fresh graduate in economics in a university here in the Philippines. I hope you can help me for my future job as an economist.
Do you specifically need to study economics to become economist or more so be in the finance sector. Due to my option of not doing maths at a levels its has limited my uni courses so atm the choice is Nottingham Trent BA Economics which obviously compared to the other red brick universities and job prosectors isnt compare. So is there any other degrees i can take which could lead me to the economic or finance sector
Yes you need to take economics. I did a BA in economics! It’s fine as long as you do really well in the degree
Hi what’s your weight & height
Thank you so much for this video! Im a student who is really interested in going into policy and becoming an 'expert' in something. I'm really hoping I'll be able to do something similar to what you have done!
i lost it when she said biscuit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing overview! The bureaucracy is 😩😩😩, totally agree!
Really great vid! Thanks :)
found another job yet?
I wouldn't call a merit from LSE a loss sis🤣🤣🤣🤣
Felicia, you have integrity and high standards. I commend you for removing yourself from an environment that was not right for you. Anyone working for Boris Johnson must has some level of internal conflict. No excusing his shady behaviour. I see you presenting economics on Dispatches (ch4 documentary) or similar show in the future. Does this interest you at all?
Ah yes, self-inserting your personal motivations into this person's story
@@GT-tj1qg and? She’s adding to it. If you’re a boris lover fine no one cares.
I just know you have no idea about politics.
I don't even think politicians have any idea about politics tbh.
@@FeliciaAyensua gotcha

Where do you think a good place to work would be if you want to do ‘evidence based policy making’ rather than ‘policy based evidence making’?

Your voice!!! You sound like NAO 🥰🥰 I agree with all points in this video. I work for the civil service (MOD) and yes. You are right on every fact. Buying our own biscuits is saaad. They can't even cough up the money for a pack of custard creams. 🙄
