I don't think so
The HMRC starting salary was £19,550, working hours anything between 8am and 10pm any day, and once WFH ended I'd have a 75-minute commute. It was entirely impossible, looking back, that I would have been able to manage it.
HMLR, by contrast, pays £22,353 (about 2k more than I had thought when I interviewed), I'll only be working on weekdays between 8am and 5pm, and is only a 30-minute commute after WFH. And it's 28.5 days' holiday plus bank holidays, which is more than I thought and a few more than HMRC were offering.
Looking back, I don't know why there was even a debate.
A lass I used to see works at the land registry, reckons its as laid back as you can get.
