I really like this response because it is helpful and practical but not overwhelmingly cynical or Machiavellian. You can do well by doing right in this field!

I think a corollary to 0 is that if an organization is in trouble it will usually find a way to always be in trouble. It's human nature to think a crisis is always almost over, often it's only beginning. For sure, taking over a troubled project is a great and honest way to make money, and I love sorting out tangled messes where the original developers have all left (hit me up if you've got one, email in profile!), but just make sure that the problem wasn't a chaotic or toxic work environment. People and their interactions are more important than events and circumstances in terms of creating an environment. Some teams run on crisis and others run on collegiality. The direct and indirect benefits of a positive work environment are tremendous.
