> while people in tech say "I want to save the world" while thinking "I want to make a ton of money" Citation needed. The number of people in "tech" who say that is remarkably low -- in my experience in Silicon Valley: zero. Far more often, I hear employees who are driven by "the mission" of the company/product. I work on a newer generation cybersecurity product because the ones that exist in the space have terrible usability and probably aren't very accurate/comprehensive/ergonomic. I'm not "saving the world", but I am making marginal improvements in a high impact space. Personally I haven't the foggiest idea of what a Hedge Fund actually is. I've seen The Big Short, Margin Call, Barbarians at the Gate and I don't find myself sympathetic with any of those characters (except the Ben Rickert[1] in The Big Short, but only because he saw how terrible the industry was and got out years before the story takes place).
