📝Private Job vs Government Job – My Honest Opinion

Mustak Aalam July 13, 2025

Introduction

🔷 Government Jobs – Like a Fixed Deposit I see Government Jobs like Fixed Deposits – safe, low-risk, and offer steady returns. In India, people run after government jobs primarily due to: Lack of awareness Social pressure Respect and validation from society Rarely do people chase it out of true passion or dream (except UPSC aspirants, which is a different league). Most youth don’t actually want the job – they want the security and respect associated with it.

Key Points

đź”· Government Jobs = Security > Dreams Government jobs provide: Permanent employment Predictable salary increments Protection against inflation But what they rarely offer is: Freedom Creativity Unlimited growth

Example

Real-Life Example: Suppose in 2025, you want to buy a car but postpone it to 2030. With a government job, your salary will grow steadily and keep up with inflation — like a bank giving you interest to balance rising prices. That's sustainability. But not ambition. 🔷 Private Jobs – Like Trading in the Stock Market Private jobs are high-risk, high-reward – just like stock market investments. Your growth is linked to your skills, effort, and risk-taking ability. You have freedom to explore, grow, and earn exponentially. Real Example: Today your salary is 6 LPA. Learn in-demand skills, and in 2 years you could earn 30 LPA or even 1 Cr+. But fail to update your skillset and you might face layoffs too. That’s why private jobs = potential for explosive growth if you’re ready to hustle.

Conclusion

🔸 Conclusion: Govt Job = Fixed Income + Stability Private Job = High Growth + Risk + Freedom Your choice should depend on: Do you want comfort or challenge?
