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. |

this is interesting and i would like it to be true, but i have never heard this before. if you think about it, it doesn't cost the government anything because the extra money is coming from the company. but think about this: what about a NOC who is not using a real company as cover? it would be weird for one NOC to be making 80k/year and another to be making 180k just because they were assinged a cover job with IBM or something. i would think this could create some confrontation within the DO considering two people taking the same risks are getting paid so differently.
