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?
It is a personal matter of everyone. Everyone chooses his career according to his preference. The offer you said whether to choose a government job or a private job basically depends on one's personal goals, dreams and financial needs. I am talking about myself now, to be honest I don't want to do anything official or official. I want to do something on my own initiative. But I know it's not easy because I have to do something else to raise the money needed to do something on my own. And to add that money I have to go back and do either government job or private job. In this case, if I have any job, basically I will do it where I get more budget, not only me, but anyone else will do it where they get more budget. But my goal is that until I can raise money to do something on my own initiative, I will work only until then.
