    You know that they only are prepared to offer cyber security experts minimum wage.

    I was literally looking at this yesterday, if they doubled what they are offering it would still be well short of an entry-level wage in the private sector. Up to a point you can get away with it and rely on “patriotism” to fill the difference but not to this extent.
