Making such a decision doesn’t mean politics is running your life. What kind of society, part of which includes politics, you want to live in matters to a lot of people. For me the biggest luxury of working in tech is actually that pretty much anywhere I earn enough to be solidly in middle class which give me the freedom to weigh other aspects of work and life higher. Chasing higher compensation or climbing corporate ladders is more optional.
