Civil Services vs Private job
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 servants are neutered domestic dogs of politicians, get ready to be fcked apart from gutter emerged politicians..
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
Thank you
