First thing Pls. don't compare private jobs and government jobs. Before speaking about private company pay package u should consider 1. Risk Factor - no job guarntee 2. Work Load - do your work and get paid. 3. Nill Benefits (like subsidised goods etc. from canteen etc.) 4. Nill Post service bebifits - no concept of pension. 5. Ill-treatment by government authotities (in the form demanding bribes/comparitively hihg bribes etc.)
