I have worked under both the state and the central government. Both have their own merits and demerits.
Central Government Services facilitate your journey through out India on government expense ,the State Government Service allows you to settle down in your home state in very early part of your career.
Pay and Perks are almost same for both the services.
There are few differences both of them have been mentioned below-
1. SALARY
There might be a little difference or a great difference varying from job to job. So depends on which part of the sector we are joining.
2. WORK LIFE BALANCE
Again its up to us totally that how we manage our job and our personal life there is no role of a particular sector to which we join.
3. SOCIAL STATUS
We will always have a nice impression in the minds of the people if we r working in a central job as compared to a state sector job but again it is hardly a matter of thinking because different people have different kinds of impressions of us in their minds.
