Unless you’re a scholar, you’re second, third, fourth rate talent.

yup. if anyone is not interested in joining PS/CS, should not even visit this forum in the first place

Usually if fresh grad want high pay and faster promotions, join private sector. Unless of cos govt scholar....

Then after a few years maybe mid 30s jump into public sector for job security and stable (but lower pay and slower promotion) - especially if you just starting family. Unless can be high flyer by private by then.

Can't be like MX12/13, just waiting for clock to strike 6.

DD/D (mx9) are consider middle management.
senior management are all the C and deputy C level

But this only applies if you're doing very well in the private sector i.e. in a MNC and above-average performer. Otherwise, it's still a better deal to go with the public sector from the very start. Average pay in public sector is still better than average pay in private sector for local uni grads.

Public sector less likely to get retrench in the current situation.

Need to compare job function too and join the right company in private sector.

Each sector has its pros and cons.

Your private sector friends work in SMEs?
