Well, Govt. jobs have their own advantage as we all know. But they are boring.

So I voted for Private Companies.

How can you say govt. jobs are boring if you are not a govt. servant? For that matter any job regardless of govt or private can be boring if you don't like your job. Me myself is a govt. employee and i am quite happy with it.. From my experience the advantages of a govt job are many:

1. Power and respect
2. Good salary (though not comparable with private)
3. Job security (the most important thing)
4. Fixed working time (except for a few categories like law and order, medical field etc.)
5. Satisfaction that you are doing something good to the welfare of the general public.

These are a few that comes to my mind. Pls note I am not saying private job is bad or boring. Every job has its own pros and cons. The important thing that matters is whether you are happy with that.

Well, ya, Govt. jobs are also offering good salaries now and in some areas they are much more than private.

3. Job security (the most important thing)
100% Agree.

Well, that's right. This can be taken wrongly or rightly both

Depends on person to person

Very well put points , except maybe for the last point , which in reality is the opposite

Money/Work done is way more

I am an IT Student i hardly have any hope of getting a Goverment Job Although it maybe for the better , want to learn more , private is the way to go.

With almost 10 years of working with MNCs. Would prefer the 'peace' of a government job any day. Not that I am a person seeking ways to shirk hard work -- but MNCs' are PITA and quite tension and high brain hurting experiences. Specially with the hierarchy and structures. Am at a high managerial position, but still do not like it -- anymore.

^^ managers still enjoy.. but in MNC the maximum time they do is Calling.. most of the time they are on phone.. sometimes taking complaint, sometime reports, bringing projects etc etc...

i would prefer govn. jobs..

but the name government employee is enough to make an image of lazy, bribe taker person

And that's exactly why I resent even talking about them. It's understandable for my parents to like "govt job" title. But, as a wannabe Soft Engg., I am constantly being tormented to try for govt jobs. Which I don't want to!

Not true always. It is a general notion that govt employees have no work to do, they simply put the attendance and get high salary. Actually except in central govt. segment, the salary is very low for state employees. (I frequently had to work extra time including night without any extra allowance.)

One of my friends left his manager job in a well reputed mnc and joined as LD Clerk. Sometimes he would say (or brag) I was getting 40k pm but the pressure was intolerable. Now i am happy even though i am getting only 5k pm. (This was in 2004. Salary has increased since then, but not too much.)

Well you should try for a govt job and change that lazy, bribe taken image.

Parents always want there children to have a good secure job. But since your interest is in IT field you should go with that. IT jobs are available in govt. fields as well.
