any views?
1. If you want work-life balance then go for govt jobs.
2. If you want money, job satisfaction but little to zero work life balance law firms are a good option.
Another factor to consider is, its very difficult to get into any government service, almost all exams have a very high level of competition, especially in the legal stream vacancies are very less. So a lot of people who are negative about government jobs never have had the oppurtunity to work a public sectr job. So in conclusion, if you want a job soon after graduation, then look for law firms. But if you are good at academics and can speand some time preparing for exams after college give govt exams. There is howver no gurantee that you will make it.
