Should I stay a techie or try to prepare for govt state pcs exams

My 2 cents, State PCs jobs will have lot of competition and you will have to start from 0. Plus work culture won’t be as professional as corporate. The growth will be slow and time based . If you are an ambitious and creative person don’t look for such jobs. Stay where you are and think about growing further in your career. But yes try talking to people who are in this job and imagine if like being their place. More information will bring clarity,

Government jobs aren’t what it used to be. There is no pension for people 2004 onwards. Transfer at will bcos you didn’t play along the office politics of your seniors, nowadays people are dismissed as well so no 100% job security of earlier, depending on the location there is also a lot of mafia that control like coal, etc. All in all, its just a beurocratic job where your decisions are not yours. And those who think its free money or corruption, there are so many IT raids, court cases on those who do it. Many times your promotion is stopped bcos your senior didn’t like you. I know all this cos my father is retd civil services, and no one is interested in my family to do govt job, we’re all in private. So its not all that people make it out to be

You are getting Approx 2.5l in a month which is not possible in govt jobs

40-50 lpa ain't similar to 10-15 no matter how many perks you get. You can say 25 is similar to 15 given you get house and house helps but definitely not 40-50.

Govt employees can't hide from taxes. They are the first to pay.

If your reason is other sources of income then please stay away from govt jobs. We have enough leeches already.

Relax boys , he just want to become most corrupt government officer

Clearly a skill issue

It clearly seems you want to give it a shot, you should try for it.. if it doesn't work out you can always come back to IT, so don't have regrets later

What’s wrong with you, taking up garbage government jobs!

Bhaiya ko undertable chahiye. Seedhe seedhe bolo na 🤑

I have an idea. You can continue to have good relations with bureaucrats since u know them. With their money and your skill, start a business ( probably continue to work in private) , all of you earn good money.

You have enough experience and a good tc if you try and it doesn't work out u can join back but state pcs jobs won't be that prestigious as u think they are and apart from the top rankers I don't think u can earn upar ki kamai it will be a lot difficult but don't know the workings and all so can't say but that's what I feel.

What other sources of income 🌚

You can definitely try if you can - in your free time.
