You cannot legally earn in govt jobs what you are currently earning in tech. 
  
 Also, UPSC sucks. It's a memorization exam with no assessment of administrative capabilities. It has produced an inefficient, corrupt, colonial, and low IQ bureaucracy which knows nothing about India and Indian knowledge systems, but are experts in being assholes and knowing what area of philosophy Marx thought when he was pooping.

I have been there , done that . I must tell you don’t burn your hands at the altar of UPSC. I spent 4 years and then got out broke and depressed . No , in tech and doing decent though job security is always an issue here and faced the heat here as well. But all in all, skill development is here and you can make any sort of money and travel and do any sort of activities if time permits. But at UPSC, say goodbye to 4-5 years and that too without any backup. The money you are making is exceptional and you should keep on with it

Civil servants are neutered domestic dogs of politicians, get ready to be fcked apart from gutter emerged politicians..

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have just graduated and started working in Bangalore at a core company(electronics related) with 20L in hand and another 20L in bonus, stocks etc.
But my parents are asking me to write Civil Services, which I like as equal as a private job, but after I gave one upsc attempt this year, then I understood that UPSC requires lot of luck too, as the most of the questions are dynamic and no one can predict them. This is also said by many UPSC toppers too.
Instead I am thinking to continue in private job and get salary hike or promotion every year by working hard or by switching to other companies which has good opportunities.
Can anyone give insights on whether I should pursue Civil Services or should I work in private firms. Please also give reasons. Thank you in advance

Civil Services vs Private Job

Hi folks

I'm currently working as a Full stack developer with 6 YOE now and TC 32LPA. While I enjoy the Technical side of my profession, I have long been considering appearing for state pcs exams. Mostly the reason is the job security , exposure to great connections (civil servants) , other sources of incomes etc. while being in private , I'll have to keep upskilling , pay upfront 30% taxes to govt and face this job uncertainty. I think 40-50 lpa in private should be equal to 10-15 lpa of govt given power , prestige and other benefits.I took a career break 8 years back to appear for upsc but left due to financial considerations. Pls. Advise.

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

Software Developer

I’m a software developer with 2 years of experience earning 1.6L per month. Should I invest 2-3 years in UPSC preparation for a fresh IAS position or advance to an SDE 3 role in the corporate sector? 
    Considering the potential for better income, less pressure, and job mobility in corporate roles versus job security, pride, and potential moral conflicts in government roles,.Now I’ve had experience in corporate settings but don’t know anything about the first-class government job to compare with. 
    Almost everyone might have faced this dilemma while working in the corporate world. Please help me understand the views that I might be missing.

Corporate Job vs Govt Job

My parents are asking me to prepare for government exams and get enrolled in SSC coaching. I want to know what are the perks and benefits of government jobs that make people want it so badly. My parents both work for a private company, and I do not find anything wrong with working for a private firm. I like their lifestyle but they keep pushing me to go for government jobs only. What is so good about government jobs in India?

Thinking of taking a break for approx 1/1.5 years from tech, and trying for UPSC / PSC. Wanted to understand how hard would it be to get back in corporate after the gap ? If someone has successfully tried and can share their experience, it would be really helpful.

Data Analyst

I'm 24 year old unemployed. I graduated in 2021 with BTech IT from tier 3 college. 
Initially I was preparing for UPSC exam but I gave up after few months and now for a year I have been learning Front End Development and have learnt HTML, CSS, JS & ReactJS but unable to find a job.
I made a lot of mistakes in past and didn't learned from them. I'm not good at anything. I apply daily at different platforms ex: wellfound (formerly angellist), hirist, hirect, instahyre, cutshort, individual mass hiring companies off campus but from nowhere I'm getting interview call even if I get call I'm not able to clear interview. 

Now the thing is my parents gave me ultimatun to get out of the house by April 1st they don't care what type of job I do. 
I don't understand what can I do now. I'm willing to do hardwork and learn from my mistakes I just need little guidance to get on a track. If anyone can guide me on how to get a job or any advice. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading.
