Pros

High level of responsibility and good exposure to senior ministers. Amazing if you love the world of politics or economics, however, if this is not the case, may not be a suitable role

Cons

Work can be very slow to get through, and sometimes it can be too relaxed. If you want to be busy throughout the day, may not be the right job for you.
