It’s a job dude. You sign the offer letter for 300k plus TC and you’re just a resource. Do it well and you can leave any time you want for something else. You’re not forced to work for 300k lol. Just hop ship and make 400k. You’re working for a capitalist machination. You want something deeper start your own company or do something else. These companies don’t care about you. The “cool tech” you build is just an icing on the cake to do what? Sell more ads? Exploit labor laws in poor countries? Exploit your own communities? Have teens harm themselves with awful programming and doom scrolling? Wow really changing the world there. Just my $0.02 as someone who lives in the real world. Also pro tip you can make a lot of money not working in big tech. My job involves making sure people are safe and productive, not doing anything fucked up morally questionable that will make me lose my sleep at night. I make a bit less than what I’d make if I sold my soul to work at Meta or something. Btw I’m sure people thought it was “cool” to work on the Death Star too.
