As someone else pointed out in the thread, his career trajectory was pretty much straight up. It wasn't until 2012 where he became disenfranchised with the intelligence community.
Otherwise, he's held some incredibly top level positions in the NSA and CIA up until 2012. Had he not gone "rogue", I'm pretty sure he'd still be climbing the ladder and be one of the more respected people within the intelligence community. This guy was headed to some very high, well paid positions within the NSA.
Kind of hard to discount his career up to that point.

- at-fates-hands 12y agoSo this all myth then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden#Career http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden#Career According to Greenwald, while there Snowden was "considered the top technical and cybersecurity expert" in that country and "was hand-picked by the CIA to support the president at the 2008 NATO summit in Romania."[73] or In 2011 he returned to Maryland, where he spent a year as lead technologist on Dell's CIA account. In that capacity, he was consulted by the chiefs of the CIA's technical branches, including the agency's chief information officer and its chief technology officer.[39] Pretty sure if you're being consulted by the CIA's CTO, you're not exactly some low level contractor doing sys admin work.
- csandreasen 12y agoIt may or may not be a myth, but the only source backing up these assertions is Snowden himself by way of interviews.
