Hmmm... job-for-life with enforced zealous national patriotism, vs five-year job with enforced zealous corporate patriotism (and everything is so god-damned colourful).
They'd have a tough sell to get the NSA employees I would think.
- tzakrajs 12y agoDon't forget the part where they make significantly more money than working for a federal acronym.
- ForHackernews 12y agoThe NSA pays quite well, and has excellent benefits. Also, if you want to work on really seriously challenging mathematics outside of academia, the NSA is close to being the only game in town.
- jonknee 12y agoThe NSA pays government salaries, if you want real money you need to be at an outside vendor (a la Snowden). I'm sure the benefits are great, but so are Google's. http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/NSA-Salaries-E41534.htm http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/NSA-Salaries-E41534.htm http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2014/GS.pdf http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-...
- mike_hearn 12y agoA lot of these people are not American and thus not eligible to be NSA employees, assuming they'd even want to be (obviously not).
