Thinking About Joining The MI-6?

I stumbled upon the United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service website, home of the MI-6. What's interesting is that in their careers section, they have two different tests to see what type of career path you may be proficient at.

First test is for the position of Operational Officers.
Second test is for the position of Administrators.

I did the test and looks like I could do either position.

I have to admit that I did browse through their careers section, and their benefits are quite something. 25 days vacation plus 10.5 days public holidays! Unfortunately you have to be a British citizen to apply, so I'm very unqualified in that area. I wonder if they take loyal subjects from the Commonwealth though.

Actually, 25 days vacation is quite common for "higher" positions in the UK. Friend of mine is an engineer and has 5 weeks vacation.... I guess us North Americans just work too hard.

Is your friend working in the public sector or private sector?
