> Don't apply for those jobs regardless of how well they pay. If your company starts projects in that market, leave and find something else. You make that sound so trivial. I don't have the moral qualms you refer to, but after spending almost 10 years at a defense contractor I wanted out. I couldn't get the time of day from anyone outside the government contracting world. In fact, I'm still in it (albeit at a really small software research house). To make it worse, the embedded sensors and controls stuff I really want to be working on (NLP was a desperation move) hardly has any demand outside of the industry. Even the general embedded stuff is really, really hard to translate well enough to not get shitcanned at the resume screen stage. You want to help engineers get out of work they find reprehensible or morally dubious? Hire them. Put your money where your mouth is an hire them. I see these "stop doing that work" sentiments all over these type of threads and find it infuriating in the face of how we seem to get treated when we try to get out.
