In this economic world, having a job or a way to earn money is a must. In Nepal, people do a range of jobs, some to earn money and some out of their passion for something. There are various domains under which you can narrow down which job you want to do; the perks, the downsides, and everything in between. 

Private and Government jobs

Features of government jobs

  • Having a government job means you work for government-owned companies, departments, and agencies. 

  • The salaries are fixed, provided on time with the timely promotion

  • The job is very secure and it’s hard for you to get fired. 

  • The protocols are strictly set by the government. 

 

Features of a private job:

  • Getting promotions and timely salaries may be challenging depending on the company and the post you work on.

  • There is less job security in private jobs.

  • The company protocols are set by the executive and core team of the company and can be changed anytime. 

 

Entrepreneurs and CEOs who consider themselves self-paid fall under the private category as the companies are owned by an individual or group of individuals and are not owned by the government of Nepal.
