Topic Name: NOC Pay
Message Name: I think they keep it
Date Posted: 03/13/2006
Message: I've been told that rules were changed to allow NOCs to keep the extra compensation they make. Meaning, someone working as a software engineer at an international firm is probably making pretty good money, more than a operations officer working out of an embassy. Since covert officer spend 80% of the daytime doing their cover jobs -- people develop a real expertise at their cover, whether it's engineering, law, etc. So, the agency was losing people to their cover companies because they would pay more for doing the same job they do during the day time. So, I was told the agency started allowing NOCs to keep the extra compensation they're given. Maybe I got it wrong. But, I think they did it to stop attrition.
