After a decade of an experience in the IT industry as a Full Stack Java Enterprise Developer of which the first 4 years have been in a top private Multi National Indian IT Service Company and the later 6 years in a Govt. Software Lab I am at crossroads if I should again move back to the private industry. There are conflicting opinions and advice I get.
A school of thought says that after a certain age every body looks for some stability in life and a Govt job does give that wonderful balance to work and life.
Further, with an adventurous and exciting responsibility of being a father to a toddler and a husband to a super busy working spouse it's more prudent to continue with the govt job. However the other school of thought says that "smooth seas never make a great sailor". Though I have been lucky so far to be getting plenty of opportunities to work and more importantly code on some great technical stacks in my current role in the govt job yet the experience of a bigger picture or production scaling of a product to market is missing since the work is more of the nature of R & D in govt labs.
Any perspective on some experiences no matter how meandering would be great!
Thanks!

It matters because different governments (national and otherwise) offer different job opportunities. There is a specific way that career progression, pay, and benefits increase in the U.S., but that doesn't mean that advice which applies there will apply everywhere.
