While it can be a hard field to break into, I will say you’d be hard pressed to find a more interesting and rewarding job. There’s a reason why the attrition rate of intelligence professionals leaving the field is ridiculously low — the work and the people are incredible.

There are some really cool missions that you can be a part of and you get to work around some very smart and focused people.

Down side is all the negatives that come with working in a SCIF. No windows, no work from home, no personal devices, some missions are 24/7 so shift work, foreign travel restrictions, lots of annual oversight training.

I wouldn't mind going back, but I wouldn't want to do it long term.

Hi! Intel analyst... from BAH haha.

1.) Wide range depending on speciality and skills — I started at 70k (rather high for a starting analyst) and have seen high 100’s for seasoned analysts.
2.) No, but it definitely helps for certain clients.
3.) SAIC, CACI, Leidos, Noblis, Centra, etc. — however, BAH is widely considered the top firm in the private sector intel space.
4.) It’s rather complicated because it’s such a niche area, therefore it’s case-by-case depending on the intel speciality — happy to talk offline about it (DM me).

I do at Deloitte but the work streams here are still small. You need a TS coming in at the minimum and preferably military intelligence experience at the officer (O5 up) level.

@D2 - no clearance - this would also be a new role for me

I built tools for Intel analysts and linguists and some are the most tech inept people I've ever met.

A fair amount of the older intel analysts (especially those coming from a military background) are very tech inept — but there’s also some who are tech gods.

Deloitte does it, but many of the contracts are handed out to minority contractors, so we are the sub on lots of them.

BAH has way more contracts in the IC space. Intel analysts can mean many things and changes from agency to agency. For example, it could be language work, network building, or compiling reports.
