Which job is better, a govt. job or private job?

Opportunities are aplenty for any age group for those who have the ability to create opportunities where there are none.

Opportunities always knock the door for the people who is ready to work without considering their age. Those people who criticizing the jobs and telling unnecessary reason will not get the job.

It's like blaming the tools for the person's incapability. Many hide themselves under the guise of iincapabilty. And these are the people who want to enjoy the luxuries of life at the same time. Prove your mettle. The world welcomes you with open hands.
It's only inefficient workman blame the tools.

I agree with you. Microsoft leader bill gates said that his friend studied well and get an opportunity to work as an engineer to Microsoft and bill gates even did not qualify in some exams became the leader of Microsoft. We should analyse the cause of failure and think how to overcome from that. Nobody can beat us until we accept the failure.

The recruitment in government esp in its PSU's is done on merit and as per laid down procedures unlike in private companies where flexibility exists. However the problem in government is that its decision making process also has to follow a laid down procedure which makes it suffer vs private sector which is able to respond to changing external scenarios much faster. In competitive environment the government sector suffers. We must not forget the immense contribution of government organisations in heralding progress and growth in almost all sectors of Indian economy. The private sector usually enters after government companies have created the opportunities. Ultimately it is the employee who sees where he is more comfortable. A salaried employee can never be the boss in either private or public sector.

Once a job is secured in a government organization, there comes a grinding halt to the employee's personal abilities. Because of a monotonous work culture. And it goes until retirement. Even if the employee shows promise in his work, it's ignored. This is a trait that repels ambitious people. And they turn towards Private jobs where the employee's mettle and Merit is taken in to consideration. And for promoting such people there is no time restriction in Private organizations. In PSUs there is a time frame for promoting the employee.
There are instances of salaried employee in a private firm becoming a CEO of the organization.

True. Private jobs never expect bribe to finish the work. In govt some people are working with sincerity and doing their jobs without asking bribe and finishing their work at the right time. Another disadvantage of govt job is jobs are allocated based on caste.

It all culminates to one point. For an ambitious person who strives to excel, and who is ready to go that extra inch for his and organisation's development, there is nothing like Private organization.

Drawbacks are in every firm. Most of the software companies in India are private firms. Why pvt only lead in this industry because they day by day improving their product.

A constant improvement of the product and innovative ways to boost the productivity that save a lot of amount to the organization is the trait conspicuously invisible in most of the PSUs, may be with one or two exceptions.

Govt job means we are doing something for our country or state. An private job means doing something for that firm only, whether it is National or International. In private firms the head of the firm can take care of his firm as it is small in comparison with the country or state and he/she will be more strict to the employers who are not performing but in case of government employees, they do their work in their own ways. If people in government jobs start working sincerely then our country would progress with double rate as compared to current.

Is Microsoft a small firm.?Are the employees of Microsoft work for themselves ? Similarly Infosys and and Wipro small firms?

Microsoft, Infosys, Wipro, IBM, these are not small firms, the culture of work and monitoring the work to be done is excellent and there is no chance that anyone in these companies will get salary without working. But in many cases in government there are employees who are dong nothing or very less for government but still they are getting salary. You can find many govt schools where either there are no students or students are very less, and the teachers are getting high salaries there. Even peons in govt schools are not working properly and getting good salaries as compared to peons in private firms who works the whole day.

That's the point. It proves, for a person who wants a development for himself, organization and the country, private firm jobs are ideal.

I will go with govt. job. Because, it is a secured job and salary is assured.

It's Ok for those who lead a life of comfort and doesn't need progress in life. Private jobs are meant for those who strive on challenges and show inclination towards progress and development.

I go with government jobs, as there are more administrative responsibility than private jobs. :whistle: :whistle:

Responsibility and Accountability are the two things which a government job lacks. Most of the people prefer security and free perks without moving a hair. This is the reason why Government jobs are in high demand.

This is a bad sign for India that people prefer government jobs only because of job security, they don't take care of their responsibility. In government jobs the promotion of employees depends on their link with politicians, while in private promotions almost depend on your ability to do work. If same fundamental is followed in government job, then India may have progressed more faster.

Like people like leaders and like governance - there is no point in blaming the leaders since it is people themselves who have brought in this system where government jobs iumply comfort and less work with financial security for life ! I have heard people say ' look for a government job and once you get it you will be fine , no need to take anything seriously ! With this attitude what better can we expect from various departments ? The mindset has to come from grassroot levels for any change to happen. When you have a responsible, aware population leaders automatically become better and less corrupt since they realise they cannot get away with such practices !
