My excuse for not applying is that I'm effectively locked into my current job for the next year or so, and after that I will probably remain locked in due to the difference in medical benefits, and the possibility of paid retirement within a short 8-10 years after that. I've always wondered what might have been though... I had received a very tentative hiring offer from someone at Intel about 9 years ago... which had been just a few weeks after I'd finally joined the nuclear Navy.
