What’s it like working for the CIA?

mid-level jobs
Perigee asked:

My supervisor approached me, and asked me if I wanted to apply to this agency. I already work as an international analyst for this company, and I have a mid level clearance. But to me it’s a regular job, in at 9, leave at 5.

She told me it’s a “compliancy officer” position. She wouldn’t tell me any more than that…seriously! I don’t even know what a compliancy officer is. All she told me was that it’s nothing like the movies.

I love my country, and want to do something meaningful to contribute to it. But I don’t know how different my life would be. I am 25…so still young, and no wife or kids. Working for the CIA…I won’t be in a place where random firefights break out will I?

    It`s great, we are sitting at computers all day and playing games, visiting websites and other stuff… Once a month we go out at the streets, and we have sunglasses, black smoking and all other stuff which makes us look important! :) Ok, i`m joking, but that job could be that kind…And they have good salary, i think ;) Anyway, i would accept that offer in your place, because there is no way they could give you some dangerous tasks, it`s not like in movies. For these jobs there are different kind of guys, and they have never been international analyst. Good luck in your new job!

    Your job would be to insure the agents are doing their job correctly and within policy.

    Its mission is to collect and correlate intelligence, provide direction and coordination of foreign intelligence and such other duties as the President directs.
