Compare Government Job and Private Sector

As I am from second class family, my family always prefers Government job to join. In my early days of my career I also tried but due to lot of reasons I realize that this is not my field. As I was not very brilliant or bright student so in case of failure in getting Government job I was afraid of my career get ruined. So I move towards private sector having lot of scope.

After around 4 years of experience in IT sector I got offer from one of Government department to join on same job I was working, but on extensible contract of 6 months. I found myself unable to decide which will be better and which should I join.

Below are some points which always strike in my mind.

Private Sector

• High Technical growth
• Personality and skills development
• High Financial Growth
• Working environment keeps energy to work hard
• Give confidence to work and get achievements
• Updated to current trends and technologies
  

Government Sector

• Quite Safe and long lasting
• Easy working environment
• Limited learning and skills improvement
• Politics in department for growth
• Less working hours as compare to private industry
  

But finally I resigned from my current job to join Government Sector to see what is there which can be better too which I don’t know.
