I’m in tech and I don’t compromise my morals. I have boilerplate that I send to Amazon and AWS recruiters. Meta stopped bothering me after I called Zuck a robber baron. Google lowballed me with total comp and I laughed while rejecting so it’s been a few years. I don’t make as much as I could and, guess what, I live a great fucking life still. My goals might take a little bit longer but I didn’t support genocide while doing them so I think I came out on top.
You can find places in tech that don’t actively fuck a majority of US taxpayers. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes you have to bounce around a bit. If you want to take a job at Intuit because the pay is better than somewhere else, fuck you. I know you’re sleeping just fine at night; I don’t care.
I’m a software engineer and would never work for the likes of them. You should absolutely consider the moral worth of where you work as much as possible
I would work for a company I don’t like but they would have to pay a significant premium. Like I was talking to kaust but I wanted compensation beyond the rather large one they were ready to give. Got the guy who recommended me to be a bit annoyed but this would have required myself and my wife to liver over there and if some medical thing came up she would have to don a burka and get seen in ryhad.
As a software engineer, trust me. Most of us are in tech because the pay is good - that’s it.

Hey man you need to see somebody for this.
Like, I don’t work at Intuit.

Every tech company is shitty in some way.
Finding a moral tech company is impossible.
