- Lammy 6y agoJust long enough to open the doors of any other job interview and bail to a company that doesn't shuffle them and their team around the office like game pieces in a never-ending re-org, a company that makes actual products instead of surveillance advertising systems (as the latter is impossible without the former), or a company that makes decisions not to work with oppressive governments based on more factors than if it will earn more than the potential PR damage will cost.

- oneplane 6y agoFor 'beginners' they usually don't have the experience or the network to plan such a stepping stone ahead of time. If you come in the side door (shift sectors, side-learn upgrade your capabilities) you may have the experience to plan ahead like that. But this was about beginners so I suppose that doesn't matter in this case.
