It all depends if you value stability or risk taking.
For myself, I value stability and work-life balance in my job/career hence I chose civil service. I prefer taking risks outside of my job, through my investments, side hustles (shhh)
People who have a bad impression of cs would say that generally its pay ceiling is lower than private sector. This is true, but also take note of the percentage of people in private sector who make it that big. Also it is harder to jump from civil service to private than the other way.
