- iwwr 15y agoIt's a government organization, working on a political logic. So likely, they won't be able to attract consistent quality applicants (to the extent a big tech company could). They may however be able to get ideologically-driven people (those who believe in the goodness of NSA's purpose), who are prepared to work for lower wages.

- gaius 15y agoI don't know if you ever watch shows like NCIS, which looks like a crime drama, up front, but then you watch a bit a realize, actually, it's sci-fi, as they use lots of technology that hasn't been invented yet, and then you watch it a bit more and realize, actually, it's about superheroes - everyone in the team is impossibly talented and capable. I somehow doubt that real Feds are like that.
