I’m 26, currently working in the private sector in Pune with a salary of ₹45,000 per month. I have an opportunity to join the state Government, so I’m confused about whether to continue in the private sector or switch to a government job.

What would you choose if you were in my position: private or government? Private has more salary than government

I’m still less experienced and younger than you. But I’ve had this conversation with people about private vs government. I pretty much decided to prepare for govt job but I realised the salary growth in corporate is much better. 
If you work in tech and feel that you might lose your job in a layoff soon, then you can try govt sector. It definitely has more security but if you feel you need more money in future and you have a secure job then stay in private.
