Default Would you prefer a governmental job or a private sector one?

So if offered similar packages for a job with a government institution and for a job with a medium sized privately held company, what would you chose?
Generally speaking is it better to work with gov or in the private sector?

I think that for stability, government is better, for mobility, go private.

I'm working for the government of UAE and it seems to be fine thusfar.

Jynx... you're some sort of quintuple agent arn't you?

Working for the UAE while secretly working for the USG, but bribed by the Russian's gorgeous men they send you but even more bribed by excellent Chinese food, and in the end, really serving the dark god Slahnnnesh?

At least the pay would be good: Companionship, good chinese food, money, and eventual consumption of souls.
