Hello, everybody -

I am a young Air Force officer considering a career change.  I'm
looking for a high-paying, high-responsibility position doing
intellectually challenging work in a company that values creativity,
leadership, and initiative.  It is imperative that this company give
high performers the opportunity to advance quickly.  It would be great
if this position allowed me to relocate to New York City and included
some international travel.

I would like a list of specific companies that match most or all of
the criteria above and are worth my investigating further.  Please
include a rough sketch of the company and/or work involved.  I am
already aware of and have submitted my resume to Goldman Sachs and
IBM.

Microresume:
- B.S. in Computer Science, United States Air Force Academy, top 15% of class
- Conversationally fluent in Mandarin Chinese
- Holder of a current TS/SCI security clearance
- Intelligence background  

Thanks!

Tim

Any large defense contractor will want you-- Northrop Grumman,
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, etc. You'll have to wade through
their offerings and possibly do time in an average position before a
plum opens. You should have the concept of rank having privilege
firmly grasped-- do you think the sweet jobs go to outsiders? Current
employees have priority. Go be a current employee and get ready to
pounce.

Thanks, markvmd!  Yeah, that is a tried and true route for us
ex-military types to go ... I'll definitely keep it in mind.
