My experience in school (and grad school) was similar, so I've been curious about the same thing. Perhaps, they only recruit folks from the industry after they've worked for a while and have specialized?

Maybe they recruit people while they are employed at FB/GG/Msft/Amz, you know, to help with national security while also receiving a second wage.

  I imagine that you'll get downvoted to hell for saying that, but if I was the NSA I'd do exactly this. I'd also threaten you if you refused to comply. I would already know exactly which employee to target based on your dubious interests gleaned from your internet searches.

    And not a single one of them has spoken up about being coerced into compromising their employer (a big one, with lots of lawyers) by the government?

      If someone has been approached by a powerful government agency that threatens them with embarrassing information concerning their private life, would they volunteer to share that coercion in public (and be believed)? You'd have to have pretty big balls to fuck with a three letter agency like that.

  It would be amazingly naive to think that the various alphabet agencies have not made it their business to penetrate a wide variety of business, government, and NGO organizations. If it makes you feel any better, the Russians have plants in FB/Google/Amazon too.
