Sean@thomasfuchs big tech pays way above market rate, and people like to live in the most expensive cities. There's a bimodal distribution of tech jobs: a lot of high-paying big tech jobs where you suffer the cognitive dissonance of working for big tech, a tiny number of jobs with positive social impact while still having good pay, and a large number of jobs with sub-par pay but at least aren't evil
✧✦Catherine✦✧@seanlinsley @thomasfuchs don't forget "a job at a small company that claims to be doing good but is in fact abusive". after wasting my 20s on that (including ghosting a Google recruiter and once telling a Meta recruiter all but to fuck off), I'm not so sure I picked the right choices. how much of your health have you, Thomas, personally left at the door?
