Yup. I am an engineer and have worked government and private sector. Private sector pays way more and is more exciting because of the hugely reduced bureaucracy. If you have a fun career you love government can really kill the passion.

But if your goal is stable employment with good work/life balance and guaranteed raises? Government is fantastic.
