It’s possible you might not enjoy working in a FAANG corporate environment.
Facebook and Google both receive a lot of negative press about moral issues. If you’ve been driven to action in the name of animal rights, in the past, you might find it hard to stomach your employer being subjected to an endless barrage of accusations such as: tax dodging, contract employee segregation, psychological manipulation, algorithmic gender and racial bias, etc.
Amazon is in the news right now just as much for internal protests about employee rights as those rights themselves.
You might think that becoming a moral insider at one of these companies will help make a difference. That’s true in a passive sense — the more sensible morally grounded people there are, the better the background atmosphere at the org will be.
But unless you are hired into the “make things better” department, your full time contract to automate the iOS right-to-left ad translation team’s bug reporting workflow isn’t going to last long if you repeatedly stir up centathreads on social justice issues.
Its going to be very hard to resist doing any stirring!
