Working on an open source project in public is one thing, but doing private work where I don't have any idea what the target use case is, is generally a non starter for me regardless of pay.
Could be FBI, could be terrorists.
My personal mission is to help bring more privacy, security, and freedom to people so I don't really have an interest in work that does not further those goals.
I started my own security consulting firm largely so I can make a good living but also pick and choose my projects.
If I just wanted money without caring about ethics I know where to find high paying jobs at surveillance capitalism companies.
