The Associated Press is reporting former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden has accepted a job doing technical support for a "major" Russian Web site. According to the AP, one of Snowden's lawyers says the NSA leaker will start his new gig Friday, but won't reveal which company he'll be working for. After stealing his former employer's secrets and giving many of them away, Snowden's track record might not endear him to very many who work in human resources. But Snowden has had to fend off "a lot" of job offers since he fled the United States this summer, including one from Russia's version of Facebook, VKontakte. To future employers, what Snowden did when he left the NSA may be less valuable than his attitude — self-confident, independent, opinionated. |
