I’ll take that bet. 10 150k public sector employees vs 10 250k private sector, its going to be a slaughter in terms of productivity in favor of the private sector. In fact I would take 10 private sector engineers at 250k vs your 20 public sector at 150k and would still win.
The reason is not talent, but process. Governments are bureaucratic by nature, companies are meritocratic by nature. Obviously this is a vast simplification and there are exceptions but I wouldn’t bet on your team being one.
