Hi guys. I have two offers:

One from a private IT company - around $4800
One from a gov agency, not govtech - $5500

Passionate about both positions.

I know the gov job is higher in terms of monthly salary. But this will be my first job and most people advise against working in gov as a first job?

Which would you go for? Any pros/cons? For context I'm a local fresh grad albeit my grades weren't very good.
