As they said, government job is better compare to private job because it is permanent and pensionable and the job is more secured. Though private job too some are pensionable but not permanent and not that secured. And again in private job, you have the opportunity to let them know how much you want to be paid. You can either be paid higher or lower base on how you present yourself.
Which one do you prefer if you are given an offer?
Actually, working in the government or private sector is the same. the only difference is the work system and work regulations. If I was asked to choose the government or the private sector, currently I would prefer to work in the government and if I was asked to choose in the past I would prefer to work in the private sector. Why so? Government jobs are currently more promising than those in the private sector. The only difference nowadays is that working in the private sector is far superior in wages or salary. Currently private employment is very, very cruel with its regulations and systems. In my country, private employees/laborers are currently only given contracts for a maximum of 6 months and a minimum of 3 months, isn't that cruel? In the past, private workers who lost their contracts did not stipulate in the contract when they ended their work. but now as time goes by private workers/employees are increasingly marginalized by the existence of new systems from private employers. there is no severance pay, no leave pay and there are still many regulations that are considered very detrimental to private sector employees themselves. It is clear that with the way work is arranged in contracts where the contracts consist of 3 months to 6 months, many private employees are afraid of their future accounts, unlike in the past, which used a post-contract system, employees will not think about when they will stop working before their retirement...
