50-60k to startWhat is the approximate salary of a linguist for the FBI or CIA?
Keep in mind a few things...First, most FBI Linguists begin as Contract linguists. Second, there are many other government agencies that hire linguists other than the FBI and CIA. Take NSA for instance or numerous agencies within the Department of Defense. As well, for most of these jobs you will need to pass a background investigation which often can be cumbersome for many native speakers who often still have family abroad.
In the end though, to answer your question, a contract linguist for the FBI starts out making between 27 to 41 dollars per hour depending on the locality in which you work.
