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

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.

In private firms, very often seniority or the years of staying in a particular post are skipped. Skill efficiency and the employees application to the objectives and aims of the organization count.

Some times in private jobs, your relation with senior managers matter for promotion apart from your hard work.

Maintaining Relation with senior managers for the sake of promotion is more in Government Jobs. It's very less in Private jobs.

In private jobs you have the choice of choosing a company which appreciate your skills. Though you perform well in government jobs promotion is based on seniority only. In private jobs they only consider your experience and talent. If you perform well and prove your talent then you get promotions.

I consider Recognition of your skills is more important than promotion . Though your promotion comes late, your worth recognized by your employer will go a long way in the long run.

Many people tell government job is better than private job because they can escape from works and earn more by corruption. But, now at least make a change in you and tell "Both jobs are same and same amount of work and salaries are given in both government and private jobs". Make the change happen. Let us say no to corruption and change our Indian future.

For career development, and availability of new opportunities, there is nothing like private jobs.

Apart from job security & wastage of tax payers money, nothing else happens in government sector in India in my view, however the job security factor & lucrative pay makes people fall for it.

In India there is no comparison as government job gives you lifelong pension and free medical cover. Private sector stands no where because India is not a social state and only government job gives you security till death

You forgot about sundry benefits like house at almost no rent, servants on government's expenses, vehicles, subsidized items from government canteen, low rate interest loans without guarantee and income from under the table and other left and right sources besides a sense of superiority complex even in low class government employees because they know that they are a cut above the rest, a class apart which cannot be sacked or no one can ask them to work (unless of course they get paid for it separately- the bribe, not everyone is corrupt though)  

In my views, Government job is more secure and good.

Private job also good for high salary but it has no security. 

If you have very ambitious for your career and like more competitions to update yourself then go for private job.  

These days getting a job is difficult. So sector is secondary.

Good punchline. Yes, India is not like USA  and job getting is difficult. Where istheh choice? there is none. Just subsist for the majority.

I think Govt jobs are day by day being in nature of private due to misuse of job by peoples its better if Govt and Private job both become same in nature of work and salary so no matter of discussion it.
