I think this is where the mission driven bit comes in. If you don't care what the company is doing and their only mission seems to be to make the founders really rich then they've probably screwed up.
- sopooneo 11y agoIf knowledge that you're changing the world is making up for inequitable financial compensation, I'd say you as a worker have screwed up.
- amirmc 11y agoI find that view to be a little harsh. It demeans all those people who choose to work for organisations that can't/don't generally pay as much but are driven by other purposes (eg NGOs).

But I think I covered myself a little with "inequitable" if we take that to mean compared to others at their organization. I greatly respect people that work for less than they might in the case of non-profits.
