> Personally, I'd love it if undergrads learned a sense of professional ethics and objective understanding of current industry before they applied for internships Even with an understanding of ethics, undergrads, new grads, professionals and startup founders _usually_ pick the "unethical" option. - Facebook knows this (in 2019) and thus offers more money to offset it. Several of my grad school friends from MIT/Stanford/Berkeley chose to work at Facebook because "they gave $300K-$400K total yearly compensation." - US-based start-ups routinely sell products, give up equity control, or sell directly to the Chinese government or investors. Many times precluding them from selling to US customers/government. My startup recently closed a $20M computer vision deal with a Chinese customer related to person re-identification. Unethical? Probably to someone, yes. The reason for all of this? Because "everyone has a price." If you believe your ethics can't be compromised, well then you haven't been offered enough money.
