So are most other programming jobs, but those other jobs will have way better working environments, perks, benefits, coworkers, managers, and schedules.
People are trying to downvote you but it’s true. If you work in cybersecurity for the FBI you’ll have way better work/life balance, plus people will respect you. You won’t be on call 24/7 because the government has more than 2 people working in your department.
Plus you can get that extra pay in the private sector any time you want. Do you know how impressive “FBI Cybersecurity Analyst” looks on a resume?
Lemmy is hilarious with this silly and clearly extreme takes. Upvotes for no one wants to be associated with the feds, downvotes for ehh maybe not everyone agrees with that. The fbi has thousands of fucking employees, and even more applicants who don’t get chosen. The overall “feds”, the federal government, has millions — clearly people want to work for them.
Yeh it’s not wrong to have different opinions but goddamn is kinda boring to have the same views, arguments, discussions, etc. As much as they like to think otherwise, most people on here are in the definite minority irl.
The US Federal Government is the single largest employer in the country if not the world. That’s true whether you’re talking about just the DOD, just the civilians, or both.
I mean it’s a good paying job to have lol.

About as impressive as Oracle or Unity Cyber Security Analyst looks.
Not to people who don’t work in tech. I.E. those who manage the IT department.
Not compared to the tech industry

While I think you’re right, this is your opinion, not everybody elses

I think a lot of it is either folks on the edges of society (their opinions) or very young idealistic folks.
If I’ve generalized someone into one of those 2 buckets wrongly, well, it’s cause half of Lemmy acts like it.
Mind, it’s not that it’s wrong to have a non-mainstream opinion, or to be young, only that it generates a particular flavor of discourse lol

yes, there are literally millions of bootlickers. Overwhelmingly, they aren’t on Lemmy.
Wonder why? /s
They’re here, they’re just lurking
You think working for the government makes you a bootlicker? Is there an ounce of nuance in your world? 😂
I wonder what the breakdown is between:
IMO “want to work for them” conceals a LOT of people who’d rather do something else but feel like they’re wearing golden handcuffs of some sort.

Tech industry pays way more
Gov pays like shit but at least you get free time
