I would like government officials(Group 1, 2, 2A, 4) recruited through TNPSC to answer these questions.

1. What did you expect before getting postings, and what is the reality?
2. How is your work-life balance? Are the office hours fixed? Do you have time for yourself?
3. Can you go on a tour across India and abroad? If so, how often?
4. Can you do trading, investing in stocks, legally?
5. How is the office politics? Is there any pressure from ministers?
6. Can you avoid bribes? Does the system in your office allow you to be corruption-free?
7. Can a person study through distance learning programmes from Indian universities and universities abroad?
8. What is your take-home salary after tax and reductions?
9. How are transfers and promotions in your job role? What is the highest role one can reach?
10. What are the qualities that one requires to actually enjoy the position?
11. Many say I wanna serve people and enjoy doing that. Most Important Question: What is the reason that you chose this path? Purpose?

If you do not wish to share things publicly yet wish to answer, please dm.
