I was wondering , if you will be ready to work fof an organisation that you oppose ideologically , for instance you are against big oil but you get a job interview in exxonmobil with good pay , would you consider it ?

*Edit : Recently a friend of mine got a marketing job for a company that had shady business practices , selling their product to gullible parents. Since it was a marketing job , the pay was good but my friend left it within a week , saying it does not suit his ideology.

    I feel it out. To some degree EVERY job has SOMETHING that opposes my ideology. So I play it by ear.

    Like there was one company I worked for that used invasive telemetry on a product. But still I served as best I could.

    Then a couple months ago I was approached by a couple that was dealing with a website issue. After an hour of talking about the issue the owner said, “oh, btw, this is a p*rn site site.”

    My conscious bothered me. I had to walk away, despite the fact that I really needed the money.

      Porn sites are the next big thing, forget AI, ML

      I’m only half joking, hear me out

      As technology innovates, we need to adapt to it. Netflix’s network infrastructure probably looks like a kid’s science experiment next to the hub
