MI5 – Geek job going

I’ve just been sent a link to a job that I thought I’d share with you. MI5 are recruiting for a Network Security Specialist which is the kind of thing that I know a bit about. What alarms me most of all is the salary – it might seem like a lot of money to people outside the industry but those wages are right at the very bottom of the scale for that kind of job and doesn’t seem to have any London-weighting to it. I worry for our country when we can’t even pay industry standard rates for important jobs – & by their own admission it may take up to 8 months to process your application. Not a shining beacon to set an example and give hope to the citizens!
