In Türkiye, public sector is always the goal of pretty much anyone(though it's difficult to get into due to nepotism). It has 40h work week(compared to 60-65h average in the private sector), 50% to 100% more salary depending on the job, and you get paid on the day,(many small companies here don't pay salaries for months and you have to fight in the court for it) and you basically can't be fired.
Only downside is you've limited ability to choose where you are going to live, and they may suddenly post you to a random part of the country especially if you are single and childless.
How is it in your country? Do people aim to work for the state, or do they prefer the private sector?
