The reply here is entirely in line with the poster; they didn’t say anything about feeling like a fraud, they said candidates in tech minmax career choices with no thought as to their actual purpose.
And yeah anyone remotely self-aware would feel disgusting working on adtech. It’s just that most tech workers do not think about such things.
- ghettoCoder 6y agoSome of us end up working at jobs infinitely worse than adtech, the public service.
- feteru 6y agoWhat? What do you mean by worse...
- ghettoCoder 6y agoWorse as in you try to get things done in a cost effective way in order to deliver value to taxpayers but have to deal with lifers, deadwood, and clueless managers who are completely risk-averse. I know. I work in the public service.
- jiscariot 6y agoRight there with you. Not saying I'm a bright shining star, but it is amazing the level of incompetence you sometimes run across. It is legitimately the first place where I've found people who actually cost time/resources for anything they touch or interact with. The other thing is the supreme deference to rank at the cost of initiative. It was mind blowing coming from a more competitive corporate world.
