Which one is the best -Goverment job or public sector job or private sector job?

If you are hard working and earn more money go for private sector. if you like to become safe and no want to become more rich go for government job..this is only my personal openion say any thing about it for me...

I too work in the public sector and it can be incredibly frustrating at times especially when exactly as you say, you are not empowered to make decisions. Work in the public sector is incredibly hierarcical and through a lot of eyes has an unimaginable level of beurocracy and red tape. However, what we must all remember is that the public sector is spending public money and therefore it must be auditable and accountable because it is the tax payer that pays for the services. There are pluses and minuses for working in either public or private in my view. Public sector, is very good on employment rights and legislation, and there are usually good recourse if you have work related issues. Usually the public sector offers a generous amount of annual leave and good pension prospects. However this has to be countered against the level of empowerment for employees, generally lower pay than the private sector, little or no chance of overtime, bonuses or profit sharing schemes. There can often be a level of snobbery with the private sector saying the public sector is bloated and easy to work in with loads of benefits and vice versa. with public sector employees seeing city bonuses etc and saying how much better it must be to work there. In truth wherever you work there will be good and bad things about it. It is also true that within each of these areas there will be good and bad practices, good and bad management styles that ultimately play a part in how one feels about the sector in which we work. Clearly public sector employment is affected by changes in politics and often is treated as a political football in which stability rarely lasts longer than a government turn in office and will result in large scale changes and subsequent squandering of millions, but there is little job security in the private sector either. Fine when things are going well but more redundancies etc when things go badly. Go to work with the thought in mind that you will do the best you can in the time you are there within the constraints that exist. I don't think there is any harm in leaving one sector to try in another, you'll find the thing that suits your thinking that way.

Not sure if this fits...our public servants are normally Government employees. I did work for the State of Ohio for awhile and it had its perks. I think the regular jobs in the society are more interesting and flexible. Pay maybe not as good but still worthwhile. The key is to bloom where you are planted. When the time is right you will be able to get a better job and therefore advance in life.

I think that the public sector is a lot better to get into than a government job, the government jobs used to be the best but now they are not the same as they used to be and their wages are much lower than the public sector, the public sector gives you more rewards and promotions and the wages are a lot better.

Wow! I think all three types offer you different things. So I think you'll have to choose which ones are the most important to you. In the public sector, I think you mean you work for a regular company or chain? You many be salaried or are paid per the hour worked. This may be the most common type of job for most people. Your schedule is set, but the boss may or may not change your work time or days. Pay is regular, and taxes and other deductions are taken out of your pay. There is a big variety of types of companies to work for. If the company is strong you have job security (usually); if the company is weak or not very big you run the risk of job lay-offs, loss of work hours or the company going out of business. The benefit package varies greatly between companies. The pay may be minimum wage with promotions the longer you work. The pros and cons really depend on the industry, type of company. In the private sector, I think you mean working for yourself. You have a lot more freedom in choosing when and where and what you will do. You are your own boss. However, if you can't promote yourself to find enough work then your earnings are directly affected. Plus you have to take unpaid vacations or sick time when you cannot work. You can be creative and manage your own business and if you do well you can hire others to work for you. Working for yourself can give you a great feeling, but the pressure and stress of the responsibility are also great. A governmental job is great in that your job is much more secure, the benefit plan is fantastic, and the retirement/pension benefits are also well worth it. In the government job you can move around from one type of position to another if you qualify, but the process of everything is slow to change. Government rules and redtape make changes come slowly. Usually there is a union available to join in a government job too. The pros and cons between types of job sectors are varied. I have worked in all three, and have enjoyed and am enjoying my time in them all. Good luck in your choice or plan to change -- I'm sure it will all work out and you will do well. :o)

The best job should be the one that is closest to your heart. This is why I believe that the best job is dependent to the person who chooses it. I think with the three types of jobs you cited, there is more psychic income to gain if you work in a public sector job. However, one should consider the income gained too. So you should balance these things before choosing. If this job fits you best, then go ahead and you should motivate yourself. Any job can be indeed difficult if you do not like doing it!

To the best of my knowledge, if you are talking about job satisfaction alone, the best job is that of the secretariat services in a pure Government, state or central, as you get to take major decisions and you are an active component of making policy decisions. But, so far as Salaries are concerned it is least rewarding.
