It depends on you and your seriousness about getting the government job. If you are from a strong financial background, then leave your private job. If you are not, please don't leave the job. However, if you are confident that you will crack the government exam, then go for it. For a government job Some things, you have to keep in mind viz. AGE and Category. For central government jobs in Group C, where vacancies are more for people over 27, in general, or EWS. If above that age, prepare along with Job. Also, write all state-level exams plus the usual central ones. Do not go for PSU jobs. They are getting privatized anyway, so better stay in IT. Public-sector banks are also similar because, after some time, privatization is sure. Keep away from society because relatives and friends frequently ask, "Why did you quit when you are not going to get a government job? "
Also, better stay away from social media like Instagram, Facebook, etc. , and focus only on studies. All the best. I hope this will help you.

The Union Public Service Commission UPSC administers the Combined Defence Services CDS exam. I assume you want to compare the Civil Service and CDS. Both are reputed government jobs but are unique in the nature of work. Here is a brief comparison given between the two services:
Civil Services:
1. It includes services such as IAS IPS, and IFS. These are responsible for policy making and implementation.
2. Civil servants maintain public law and order. These services are comparatively less adventurous than CDS.
3. It is mostly a non-uniformed service except for IPS and IRS (C&CE).
4. Civil servants mostly deal with civilians and therefore live close to civilian areas.
5. Civil servants do not have perks such as a canteen, but their salary is usually on par with other group A services. CDS:
1. The CDS exam is generally conducted for defence roles in the Indian Army, Airforce, and Navy.
2. It deals with Indian security and therefore is more adventurous. It can directly expose you to the frontline.
3. The CDS is a well-known uniformed service.
4. CDS does not involve much civilian exposure and officers mostly stay in cantonment areas.
5. CDS officers have additional perks, like canteen service. Therefore, both services are good, and it depends on your aptitude to choose which one you want to choose. If you want an adventurous life that directly involves protecting the country, join the CDS. But if you want to work in the service of people, join the civil service, such as the IAS.
