Recently received my GC and want to work on something interesting. From the looks of it, govt jobs such as FBI, Darpa, Nasa etc looks enticing to me, would you recommend that? Any other exciting options? Looking for atleast $300k salary. Kind of bored with my big tech job. TC $500k
Consider applying to contract companies that will assign you to NASA / DOD if you want to maximize pay but from my experience breaking 300k will be difficult.
You won't get that anything close to that pay working for nasa, even as a contractor. Fbi and every other fed govt entity is subject to the gs scale, and employment at majority of the 3 letter Intel agencies require secret or TS clearance which foreign nationals will not be able to attain.
You wont find those salary rates with any agency without your own contracting vehicle or service.
They all don’t pay 300K and some of these jobs need higher skills than at Faang.
Maybe I do have all the skills they need, only a test can tell. 😊
👍 good luck. Apply in the GOV portals.
