Total salary = 170 k
( To note, civil servants also get additional Medisave contribution per month depending on scheme )
Leave days : 22-26
So may I ask who wins

Uhm, 12k is actually on the lower end of a big4 SM's pay especially if you're in the deals/consulting practice. And if both are an average performer, it still takes a shorter amount of time to reach SM in big4 vs a SM/AD level or mx9 in civil service. Earning potential in big4 is higher and provides better exit opportunities too. But I'll admit it definitely loses out on the work life balance bit.
