Is the NSA even able to attract quality talent? How desperate must someone be to sell state secrets for just 85k. Most smart kids usually end up doing research or chasing money. Never heard anyone from elite colleges do a stint in government agencies. And given their hiring page it seems they have a lot of openings as well:

Must be a very tough job getting smart people to work for them given the average salaries.
- theGnuMe 4y agoI would think so. If you are highly talented you’re set and probably get promoted quickly. After your stint you can do the contractor thing as well. Govt needs a lot of software so you could start a company on just their needs. The key issue is identifying the needs which is easier if you’ve worked there.
