private job vs government job

The below I got it from Quora. This might help you in deciding between a government job and a good-paying private job!

Should I leave my 12 lacs package TCS job for an Assistant Station Master at Indian Railway?

Answered by someone who is serving Indian railways for the last 18 years. 

The post-ASM is a Group C post and it's starting salary from a basic pay of Rs 35400 in level 6, in 7th CPC. The total remuneration is as per the posting station. I upload a pic of the scale of 7th CPC for your clear understanding.

In an economical view it much less than your current salary.

Now job security. Yes, job security is 100% unless you did a fatal mistake in your duty. As a job ASM is a very responsible job. The train running mostly depends on ASM. If they do any mistake it will turn towards an accident.

Now the job. It is much less innovative than your current job. The railway makes a system and you have to just follow this system perfectly. That's all. This is true for all other government jobs, most of them.

Now promotion. Yes, you surely promoted up to GP Rs 5400. Its the maximum level of group C staff. Now can go further upwards by departmental examination to officer grade.

Now retirement. It same as Pvt sector as there is no secure system of pension. As railway adopted a new pension scheme. And your pension now is in hands of fund managers and depends on the stock market. Now there is no pension in all government jobs!!

Now you decide.
