Eh?

Were you in a public sector job right up until you stopped working?

No.

It's not common to go from working for years in public sector to the
private sector unless there is something like privatisation which you
said isn't the case.

It was quite common in my industry. Very rarely the reverse. Because the
pay in the private sector - for the same job - was considerably better.
Unlike what you seem to think.
