Please identify why you want to move to civil services? If it is because of money then you can switch, IT provides loads of money whereas you can only have a certain amount of money in civil services. If you are bored with your tech stack then maybe you can start learning other skills and switch on those roles. If you are a technical person and it no longer excites you then you can do an MBA(executive or standard) depending on your work experience.
Civil services is a very long shot friend which will require years of preparation and no job can give you happiness if you can first not identify what floats your boat :p
I prepared for a year for officer cadre jobs in banking. I got through all of them but when I went to see their offices i understood that I won't survive in their working conditions.
So you gotta identify what makes you happy and then decide.

If you are still in early twenties and are an impeccable rattu tota, sure do, otherwise still you have plenty of other great government vacancies that will take much much less effort to get through.

Switching career will not give you happiness.You will have more challenges in civil services than corporate jobs. So choose wisely.

Civil jobs mein maar lete hein and neta log itna sunaate hein, koi respect nahi h civil servants ko. Neta log apne pairo ki juti samajhte hein. Yahan saala manager kuch jyaada nahi bol sakta. Upar se bas 12-14 ghante kaam karo civil mein

Achha ha pension toh stop kia lekin ye DA badate rehte h aur inko baki facilities b bahut milte h.
Promotion toh auto rehte h kuch saal ho jaye toh promote krte h. Aur kaam toh sbko pata h kon kaam krta h GOV m.

Really? Is that your reason to be a civil servant.

Problem might be with your organization/tech stack, try changing either of them and see if it works. Civil services is highly competitive if you're a general candidate.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
