Hi dear

Answer to these sort of questions depend upon once interests and aptitude.

Both the services you have mentioned i.e. IES & IAS are top most jobs in their respective sectors.

But as these are different jobs so you will have different responsibilities which will ensure different powers.

However the pay for both of these jobs is same but IAS Officers get some extra perks.

So i will suggest you to first determine in what type of job you are interested and then plan your preparation accordingly, as both of these exams have different pattern and different syllabus.

Good luck and make a good choice....
