IB to CIA
Has anyone ever heard of someone from IB or any finance position switching careers to the CIA or some national defense job? I was always interested in being an intelligence analyst but wanted to do IB. If you haven't heard of anyone doing this then do you think it is possible?
I know this is a funny question because of how wall street is viewed, but I figured the WSO community would have some pretty interesting answers. Thanks.
If you are young, excelled in college, and can get through a very intense background investigation then it is certainly possible. They already have tons who wish to do that work so selection is picky.
I hope you've never smoked pot...
If you think you might be interested in both, the military is not a terrible option. Allows reasonable exits paths to both IB and especially defense contracting/intelligence. Would give you time to think and plan.
A guy from my analyst class joined the FBI.
