Pros and Cons

[Ruckover]

Is there anyone on here with experience working in intellgence in both operational and analytical capacities?  I'm considering two offers - one in operations and one in analysis (with different agencies) and I'm wondering if anyone could comment on the pros and cons of each?  

Here's a few I have come up with:

Operations
PROS: Travel, nature of work, compensation, training
CONS: Travel, risks, perhaps not as challenging as analytical

Analysis
PROS: Predictable, 9am to 5pm, low-risk
CONS: Tedious (writing all day), away from action

What am I missing?  Anything else to consider?

Thanks!

Have you done the polygraphs yet?  If not, I'd accept both to better your chances.

It may seem harsh to waste thier (well one of them anyway) time by accepting both in the chance that your provisional offer becomes full for both of them; but that is how the game is played.  They string applicants along; you got to protect yourself.

But admitadly, I don't know what I'm talking about  .

One BI down (and passed) and one to go.

How do you know you passed? Did they tell you? Have you had any polys?

Yes - the one that I passed included a successful CI poly.  They told me that day and the COE became simply, an OE. The other opportunity requires a full-scope poly and that is upcoming.

Passed the full scope. Piece of cake.  Just told the truth.  Took just over 2 hours.  No issues.
