"Edit: I guess the crux of the issue is, it's hard to optimize for being a force for good because the world is big and complicated. But it's quite easy to optimize for making more money, you just go down the list of top paying employers on levels.fyi and filter the ones you don't like."
Why I am reading this as: Is more easy to make money than being force for good? Because hey, the world is big and complicated. Or "hey making the world better place is not monetary rewarding endeavor, let's move fast and break things.
Chasing big work is not related to money. It is related to creating meaning outside egoistic need of fulfilling some billionaires vision of success.
Creating big work is a personal choice. And obviously is not popular or advertised.
- helen___keller 5y agoCan you expand on what you define as "big work"? > Why I am reading this as: Is more easy to make money than being force for good? That's a wholly accurate version of what I wrote. It's been quite easy to climb my salary by about double in 6 years, with potentially more rises on the horizon. I'm just about as clueless now as I was then about how to make the world a better place.
