My niece told me during their career fair in his uni the speaker asked who wants to work in gov, many raise hands, who wants to work in private sector , a few only
Why? I see it as a failure that such a huge ratio of students want to work with gov
Spend so much money for them to innovate etc , end up preferring gov admin jobs
benefit of working with government
- seniority benefit : the longer you work, the greater you earn
- promotion : frankly speaking, you can forget about it if you are non-muslim, it got nothing to do with racist but the culture is. You still can get promoted but the path will be super super difficult
- anything that related with banking like loans, you will be able to obtain it with the lowest interest rate you can ever imagine
- you don't need to be super hardworking, all you need is to blend in nicely into the circle of people and perform well for the office politic even if you work sucks, people will still back you up
- hardly you will get fired , almost impossible
- in chinese, we call it "eat snake", in malay we call it "curi tulang", these activity are one of the best activity working there
working with private?
- seniority? nah, nobody care, if you are capable, you can kick anyone you like
- promotion? the stronger you are, the faster you get
- banking benefit? no shit given, only those high interest loan awaiting you
- you don't have the privilege to eat snake as you will be busy all the time
- you will get fired easily if you do mistake, employer seeking for efficiency, not stupidity
now you know why so many people raising their hand --> government job?
