Would you actually be better off?
The question everyone asks first, and the one nobody answers straight. Set your rank and pay point and see 9 civilian career areas ranked against it — on real take-home, after tax, National Insurance and pension on both sides. Some pay less than policing, and we say so.

From the founder
Built by someone who made the jump
I spent seven years in the police — starting on the beat, then moving into detective work. It taught me to stay calm under pressure, dig into complex problems, and find what actually matters. Nobody told me those skills would travel. They do.
During the pandemic I stumbled into tech and havent stopped since. These days I live in Melbourne, Australia. The hardest part of leaving wasn't learning the new job. It was working out how to explain what six years of service is worth to a civilian employer.
That's why After Duty Jobs exists. Every job here is translated into the skills your service actually gave you — so you don't have to make that case alone.
