4.     Work Schedule


Government Jobs have a fixed timing and their shift is of 7 hours usually. Whereas, in private jobs, focus is on getting the work done so there are no rigid rules about work time and work schedule.

Private companies have long work hours and expect you to go out of your way to accomplish more targets than you can.

5.     Facilities


Government jobs provide various allowances to an employee such as transportation allowance, house rent allowance etc.

They also provide government accommodation to their employees in need. They even get a travelling allowance known as LTC to the employee to enjoy his vacations within the country along with his family after a period of every 4 years.

Private companies also provides good facilities, but only to a few.

6.     Holidays


Private sector gives its employees the autonomy to celebrate and take leaves if they are performing satisfactorily. This helps the private sector retain their over-working employees.
