What are the benefits of being in the civil service?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon. I decided to consult with you, I hope there are people here with experience in government offices. It's just that now I myself am faced with a choice: to work in the local administration (now I work in it), or to go to another city, but already work in an IT company, and not suffer from 44-FZ and other similar things. The level of zp is the same.
I would like to hear the opinion of people who had the pleasure of working both in the first and in the second environment. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, there are no pluses in it. In the long term, you may get useful contacts that will help in some areas, and in a couple of decades you will get a good salary due to allowances, and this means many years of miserable wages, total bureaucracy, limited tools ...

Answer 2

I will add that almost any state office in Russia is characterized by the following things:

• total irresponsibility and stupidity of the majority of employees whose position does not require higher education and special knowledge (including bosses) - be prepared for the worst;
  
• absolute unreasonableness of spending - for the same needs (for example, replacing iron in work computers) they can allocate a huge amount, or they may not allocate anything at all, and even add unnecessary functions to solve infrastructure problems ( why doesn’t my printer print? ™);
  
• stupidity and overly formal attitude on the part of the authorities, including rounds of shifting pieces of paper from place to place, to which you will also be connected;
  
• stupidity or excessive strictness of tasks and / or criteria for their verification, including nit-picking on insignificant (or non-existent) details and ignoring the most effective / elegant solutions;
  
• low chance of career growth in terms of abilities and merit - since commercial efficiency is not very important for state-owned companies, relatives and close friends are first of all satisfied with the most satisfying jobs, and how good a specialist you are there, everyone is only interested in the tenth place.

TL;DR Better not mess with this swamp.

Answer 3

Depends on the nature of the person.
You can either build a career in the civil service or raise the standards as an IT specialist.
These are completely different things.
A specialist by nature will be bored with goss, goss is not so flexible for IT.
The rest (s/n, antlers, etc.) are trifles.
If you don’t see your career in the state in 5-10 years, get out of there.

Answer 4

If there is no blat and useful acquaintances, then what for all this. Although trudging for the same amount to work in another city - that also makes little sense.

Answer 5

go to another city

Something is not clear. Well, I worked in "another city" - so the salary was many times higher, it covered the cost of renting housing and periodic trips home. What's the point here? Where and what to live in "another city"? What is the prospect of a salary increase to justify the move?

Answer 6

There are no pluses.
Cons:
1. Restricted to travel abroad (not all are restricted to travel abroad, but there are some). Are you going to spend your vacation in the Crimea?
2. Small salary.

Answer 7

As long as you get a higher education, it makes sense to work. Communication is possible. Stability is a question ...
In any case, in IT, the current is self-education. and the civil service does not interfere here at all.
