Knowing the differences between profit motivated large and small companies, risks and benefits, and the culture of doing business in government organizations not driven by profit can help determine the best personal angles for “playing the game.”
Contrary to popular myths, there are always threats to employment stability, whether one pursues a career in private industry or a government institution. There truly are no “safe” career paths left for American workers to follow. Every type of employment carries its own set of risks and benefits, so anyone who manages their career effectively will learn to recognize the signs and shifts in the tides of their current direction, and develop contingencies for moving into other types of work when necessary. When mapping out your own career experiences, you will benefit greatly from analyzing the differences and similarities between the companies you have worked with, and recording the information for later reference. Using this insightful information, you can recall what you liked and disliked about working for the small, medium, and large companies, or government organizations, and combine your personal experiences with information gathered from other people.
Your assessment of these experiences will help you to decided more readily what kind and size of company best suits your personal needs and preferences.
