if i really want to join maybe wait 10 more years when i will be 36.. then join government and semi-retire haha
You really may want to consider again. Its not just the starting pay difference, the mid pay is also difference, it may take you anyway from 10 -> 15years or forever to catch up to government pay rate.

Simple maths: 500/mth at 3% increment * number of months = amount you lost!!

Just take the government job 1st, then if really dun fit, transit to priv sector by then your last drawn pay also high rite?
