Has anyone gone into a policy-related job after a short time in consulting? Did you regret it? How did you find it?

Large NGO / think tank

Like working for a regulatory agency or legislative body?

I have previous experience in Intl. development and refugee topics. This is a very large global NGO on humanitarian response and advocacy. This role specifically is policy advisory for Europe, as well as strategy and planning support, stakeholder management/engagement . I do want to work in international development long term, however I am worried that a role like this may limit intl. development roles that are more ‘business’ focused. But maybe I am overthinking it :)
