[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would ignore the negative comments. My DH has been an agent for 16 years. He is a GS-15 about to step into an SES position. We have lived all over the world.  My DH has worked some huge cases. He loved his work.

The FBI pays higher than other federal LEO jobs. And all Federal LEO get 25% above GS scale. This creates a lot of jealously. It's also much more difficult to get into the FBI. You'll hear a lot of sour grapes stories from people who didn't get in.

She will need her masters degree. It's nearly impossible to get hired without one unless you are an attorney. Timing is everything. When my DH applied, there was a hiring freeze. It took 3 years from the initial application for him to get into a class at Quantico.  Cyber is a huge focus right now. Computer skills, cyber security experience, etc. would really help her.

Have her talk with an agent. Most are more than happy to offer guidance. My DH does it all the time. And good luck! We are nearing retirement. (FBI agents can retire earlier than most Feds with less time required for full benefits. Another reason there is resentment.). We have really enjoyed our life. We have moved a lot. My DH works long hours. But he loves the work, we have met some wonderful friends, and we have a really solid retirement. [/quote]
