Title: After almost 20 years working in the public sector, I&#x27;ve come to the realization that my passion for public service no longer outweighs my many day-to-day frustrations. A sense of purpose is what kept me in government for so long, but the bureaucracy, the aversion to change, and the outdated technology have made loving my work more and more difficult. I&#x27;ve been contemplating moving into the private sector for a long time now--I&#x27;m just worried that I&#x27;ll end up feeling lost in a world that is driven by profit. I recognize however that my view is that of an outsider. I&#x27;ve never worked in business, and in truth, I don&#x27;t really know what drives people. I&#x27;m hoping the good folks of HN can provide some insight. Where do you find your sense of purpose working in the private sector?
