I worked in public sector and was constantly bothered by the wastful.spending unaccpuntability, bull#@$ and politics. It was like a British of a fresh air to move to private sector. By comparison way more efficiently way less bull#$#@ and way less politics IMHO.
If I were to work for Meta, my sense of purpose would probably be that we help connect people around the world. Billions of people love and enjoy our product.
If I worked for Uber, I would feel pride how we've helped many people move around especially these without a lot of means.
If I worked for Amazon I'd be proud how we increase productivity across the world.
And on and on...
So for me at least it is the other way around, how can you feel purpose when you know your work can be done xN times more efficient? When you see through empty claims and politics to fight for budget.
