Are the salaries of national civil servants good?

Compared with the provincial exams, the national exams are more advanced, difficult and competitive. Does it mean that the national examination must be better than the provincial examination? Not necessarily. Today I will talk about the national examination and the provincial examination in terms of salary.

Let’s first clarify a factual situation as a premise

The difference in salary and benefits mainly depends on four aspects: regional differences, industry differences, job differences, and hierarchical differences. The regional differences are easy to understand. The average salary of civil servants in the eastern coastal and first-tier cities is definitely higher than that in the central and western regions; the industry difference is that departments such as finance, taxation, finance, and securities supervision have better remuneration than other departments; the job difference is that those with faster promotions and higher salaries have better remuneration than promotions The slow ones have low-level positions; the hierarchical difference is that some grassroots financial discipline enforcement and laxer treatment are better than those in prefecture-level cities and above. In fact, among these four differences, the most important ones are regional and industry differences.

For positions above the provincial level, central positions (non-sponsored agencies) receive salaries from the central government, and most of the work locations are in Beijing, so there is no regional difference. There are only industry differences. Salaries in the Ministry of Finance, National Taxation Bureau, Securities Regulatory Commission and other departments must be higher. Such a position is not easy to compare with the provincial examination.

The best thing to compare is the national examination and provincial examination departments in the same place. The National Examination is financed by the central government and is not greatly affected by local finances. The financial department in charge of the National Examination is a local agency, and the salary package is better than that of most provincial examination positions. However, promotion is not as good as most provincial examination departments. Because the national examination is managed vertically and the system is closed, they cannot be transferred to local offices. There are generally many people in the system, and promotions are slow. The provincial examination department personnel management is open, the mobility is loose, there are many departments, the platform is wide, and promotion is easy.

To give a simple example, railway police officers belong to the national examination positions. Compared with local police officers, the salary is similar, but the promotion is not as good as that of local police officers. If the local police officers do well, they can become deputy mayors in towns and villages. You can serve on the county political and legal committee. As the job level goes up, the salary will naturally go up.

As for the national tax and local tax (in the same place), if they are both in economically developed areas, the national tax is not as high as the local tax salary. After all, the national tax management is strict. If they are all underdeveloped places, the national tax treatment is better than the local tax treatment. The more underdeveloped the place, all the taxes that can be collected will be taken away by the national tax, and the national tax salary treatment is guaranteed.

Suggestions

1. For those who do not have a Beijing household registration and want to stay in Beijing, the national examination is the first choice. Similarly, if you want to solve the problem of relocation, you can take the national examination. If you want to be at a higher level, take the national examination for a central position.

2. If you are in an economically underdeveloped area, unless you want to contribute to your hometown, it is recommended that you take the national examination department in a developed area. Popular positions are difficult, so you can choose positions that are not popular. Because the national examination is generally not limited to household registration. If you are unable to pass the exam in a developed place, you can consider taking the national exam in your hometown. Needless to say, the wages of national civil servants in backward areas are definitely better than those of local civil servants.

3. If you are in an economically developed area, it is recommended to take the provincial exam. There are many opportunities and a wide platform. In fact, the more developed a place is, the less you should look down on grassroots positions. The salaries of township civil servants in Suzhou, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places are also very impressive.

The study found that departments that manage money have good remuneration, departments that manage people have high levels, departments with few people are promoted quickly, and departments that manage many things can improve their capabilities. In places with a good economy, the national exam is not as good as the provincial exam. In places with a bad economy, the provincial exam is not as good as the national exam.
