Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

I can see a reason you wouldn’t.

Edit: “can’t” see a reason...

Oh I’m sorry - you’d said ‘I can see a reason you wouldn’t’ and I thought you were implying something that I didn’t catch on to. Ok thank you!

Additionally, with this type of government job, even though you’ve ‘accepted’ the offer, you can turn it down once you’re through processing. They don’t expect that you keep living your life and drop everything after they take years to get you the go ahead.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Best of luck.
