You're totally right. Your industry definitely contains the worlds smartest people by nature and everyone else is second-rate and would be laughed at if they tried to work in Silicon Valley.

I mean, do you actually hear yourself? Really listen to yourself and describe what you hear.

The comment you're replying to appears to be explcit sarcasm, albeit oddly put.

Just echoing perception. People think intelligence agencies' engineers are geniuses, but are candidates that wouldn't be considered geniuses in the private sector solely because of their pedigree.

Having worked in government, at least half of everybody I've met would be considered too incompetent for the job, if it were a normal company. So yes, it would be easy for me to believe that government workers would be laughed at in silicon valley.
