In the UK, when I started out, I remember once seeing an advert for a GCHQ job.
The salary was a tad more than half the starting salary in the private sector, working for an ethically neutral company.
(It'd probably be 25-33% or less of the salary of a Google or Facebook).
I imagine the case is similar in the US and that it's just like finance vs. the regulators.
Except in technology it's way worse because of the trust issues. Working for a financial regulatory body isn't evil, just boring.
