My personal opinion on what I would avoid:
- FAANG / BAT: too large, I don't want to tell people that my work was handling validation of 17th form in Adwords extended preferences screen for Tier-3 partners;
- any kind of surveillance / anti-privacy tech, including all those "we help companies understand their employees better" and "we make workers more productive" etc, all kinds of ad-matching platforms, behavioral analysis and so on;
- generally anything advertisement-related;
- anything military- or defense-related;
- anything by ex-Wework and Uber because of how toxic work culture was / is in those (just IMO);
- sweatshops like Luxoft, Crossover etc;
- probably would avoid corporates like Citi, McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte etc;
- anything that produces cheaply in China and sells outside;
- would be very careful with anything invested by Softbank directly or through a proxy fund...
Hahaha, so probably starting a business or working for a NGO with a good cause is the only way.
- 2rsf 7y ago> FAANG / BAT I suppose that YMMV, it really depends on the team and product. I worked for one of the letters you failed to mentioned an had a fair share of influence on the final product
- ninetax 7y agoBAT = Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent?
- mstaoru 7y agoRight! Well, anyway, what I meant was the Big Co. where it's hard to make any practical difference or be heard, unless you're in the top layer.
