The public sector may provide more relaxed environments but it isn't clear that you will work on more meaningful problems.
- evantbyrne 1y agoPublic workers are more positively impactful to the operation of society than many engineers working in digital widget factories. Bureaucracy limits potential, for good reason, but doing something is still more than nothing.

So the core of the "positive" impact is coming from private industry. Maybe it is morally superior in the end to work at a digital widget factory so that others can chill and work in the public sector.
