In re: “Don’t worry about making money.”:
They're sitting in a firehose of cashflow. They waste more in a day than most people earn in a lifetime. I was working as a contractor there and the Occam's Razor hypothesis I formed to account for the massive waste I saw was that they have so much money that they can afford to sequester talent. (Meaning, they can hire a bunch of people just to keep them from working for competitors.)
I know that's not true, but it's less upsetting than admitting they're just that wasteful.
