Where do you think is better to work - in the government or in a private company instead? I've been here in the Provincial Government for only 5 months now and I feel that I have not grown ever since. Well, maybe it also depends on the job. But in general, between being a government employee and private employee, which one would you prefer?

That's what also my mom has been telling me. In the government, you can retire and receive pension afterwards. Unlike in private companies, you can't retire because they will always hire young people then offer low or basic salaries. It's beneficial on the companies' part because if they keep "old" employees, their salaries get higher as compared to hiring new ones. But I would also like to experience working in a private company that's why I'm sending applications online. Hope I can get out of here as soon as possible and find the company and the job that really fit me.
Thanks for the comment!

But I think it also depends on the type of government you have in your country. If it is good - no corruption, etc. - then it would be preferable to work there. But if you talk about Philippine Government - filled with corrupt leaders, the salary is always delayed, etc. - then I would not recommend it to be your employer. And speaking of pension, most of the retirees from the government are having difficulties in claiming their pension. I don't know the problem with Government Service Insurance System but I do think it has to do with corruption again (there's nothing new to it).
Anyway, from what country are you Nirishasol? Is your government same as ours?

I think government job is far better then working in private company because there is not much pressure then in private company and one important features of it your job is secure as we didn't find in private co. But sadly i'm not getting a govt. job which is em brassing to me...but i keep on trying till i didn't get a govt. job...have a nice day....

Its depend on what type or personality are you, I think if you need stability, security and small amount of challenge, its better to work at Government company.
if you need great challenge at work and its make you bored to do the same thing every day and you eager to get higher position and larger amount of money, its mean you are private company person.
I absolutely private company person I need freedom to work and more money than Government company offer.
