Just take the government job 1st, then if really dun fit, transit to priv sector by then your last drawn pay also high rite?
You are from the govt sector yourself previously and been complaining about it mr miwashi and now you want another person to follow you and be another loser.

Be real pls, govt starting pay is higher than private at first becoz they want to attract fresh graduates who had no idea what they want and just anyhow take the job becoz 3k to them is quite alot compared to their peers who are just getting 2.5k- 2.8k (excluding better paying jobs like banks, oil and gas etc)

Once you are in govt jobs u will find it hard to get out most of the time as we all know due to many factors such as skillset etc. Yes you may lose out in terms of starting pay but I can assure you with the right opportunity coupled with your hardwork, EQ etc, you will earn back much more than what you lose in the beginning in the private sector.

FYI, I dont agree with your last drawn pay high so if u go private you will get a higher pay, which is totally ********...you will be lucky if they didnt take a 20% paycut due to irrelevant skillsets. Remember there are tons of graduates out there, who cares you are from govt sector.
