Throwaway for anonymity reasons.
I learned to code. I am good enough to get a job at a Google/Amazon/Facebook. Should I do it? I feel like it would be working for the devil, but I also feel like almost every job is like that. $200k/yr sounds pretty nice.
It seems pretty tough to find a job in tech that isn’t evil in some way or another. So I lean towards the Zizek quote’s sentimenr, but you should probably have some plans for an exit strategy if you wind up on a project that you’re fundamentally opposed to or something.
Maximize the utility though; be lazy. If they’re making you pull more than 40 hours a week without OT, it ain’t worth it. Can’t help shit except by donating money if you’re pulling 60 hour weeks because of psychopath techbro culture. Amazon’s pretty bad for that even above warehouse work, I’m told.
