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

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 !

The inherent trait in humans is," Earn Efortlessly." if government jobs lay a condition , "no efficiency- No job" the craze for government jobs will go away and job seekers direct their endeavors to acquire efficiency.

True saying for government vs private jobs:
In Government jobs "When someone get in a government job he is like a horse, and slowly he get converted into donkey and when he got retired he has totally became a donkey"
In private jobs " Some people when get entry are like donkey, but soon they convert into fast running horses and when they got retired they are completely like horse".

Which is why, many retirees from Private organizations do not find any difficulties to procure a job after retirement.

I had both choices - government and private - to opt from, fortunately. But I stayed with private job, not because of its future since I was not aware of how it is going to be, but because the private job I opted was of my interest. More importantly, I also went attempting to get through government job of my interest but could not get through!

I too tasted and tested both. My observation was, what it took a decade for me to become a full fledged professional in my trade was achieved in one year because of availability of opportunities in private jobs. If my employer feels confident that I can deliver and add more productivity, everything will happen in a jiffy. In government organizations, the proposals of the HODs will make rounds for months together.

Government jobs gives stability, flexibility, benefits and time offs. all these accumulates a greater number to government jobs. :whistle: :whistle:

Yes, there are many benefits in government jobs except for opportunities for growth.

Well, I think if you go a couple of decades back, government jobs were flourishing. Every other door we used to find a government official since the fate of private job remained uncertain. And people used to be proud of having government jobs to rely on. But then the next generation went more keen on private job opportunities... quick and competitive money, lavishing life style, abroad onsite opportunities.. and so on! So, typically the trend has changed and I am not sure if a comparision of which is good or not so good is apt now.

In a private job a person who is working hard will get quick promotions but in government jobs you should wait for promotions based on seniority.

Hard work doesn't always imply quick promotion...in a private job also the years spent in a role coupled with your skills is taken into consideration.
