“Secret Agent” Salary?

Question

Here is a crazy random question, does anyone have an idea how much money CIA “James Bond” style special operatives make? On the CIA website it lists agents in that field ranging from about 48K to 90K, but I would imagine that number is increased drastically when the hazard pay for missions, overtime and other factors are considered.

Answer 1

No, it is not increased beyond those numbers.

They are salaried positions, and whatever "hazard" pay would be included is already in there.

People don't take those jobs for the money.

Answer 2

it goes by pay charts and time in thats all. if your in a war zone tax free and hazard duty pay. most of them jobs are given to poeple like me ex-military people

Answer 3

Shhhh!!! It's a secret.

Answer 4

they have access to intelligence funds so they could get all the money they want and drink dine  travel dress etc first class all the way depending on their mission. plus bribing local officials and informants is standard so they really have oddles of cash in their hands.

Answer 5

there is no hazard pay in that regard... the job itself is a hazard, they get paid to do percisely that. that would be like saying firemen make more when putting out a fire... doesn't work that way. their job is their job. hazards and all.

Answer 6

I'd tell you but it's a secret!!!
