Default [Degree Holder] Public or Private?

Would like to know the opinion of ppl with good honors but non-scholar who choose public services as their first job.... were u concerned that the moment u stepped in, u will be more or less be capped by the 11k ceiling (MX10)?

while i think that this is alr a decent amount.. it may still be considered low compared to the earning potential of someone who went into private. Of cos, i do realize that there will be some ppl who will do worse... but is the income ceiling a reasonable trade off to hedge against the latter case?

Also, is it easy to swtich from private to public? would a mid career entrance have a lower pay and slower career progression compared to someone who started in the public service of similar qualification, performance and age?
and wat about the vice versa case.. can someone from public sector moved to the private sector easily (assuming u have specialized skills such as econs/stats/etc)?
