I was wondering , if you will be ready to work fof an organisation that you oppose ideologically , for instance you are against big oil but you get a job interview in exxonmobil with good pay , would you consider it ?

*Edit : Recently a friend of mine got a marketing job for a company that had shady business practices , selling their product to gullible parents. Since it was a marketing job , the pay was good but my friend left it within a week , saying it does not suit his ideology.

      Name a successful tech business that doesn’t sell user data. Some companies, like Google, just make it their only business model.

        Does Google sell user data? They profit from it for sure, but they keep it to themselves to do so as far as I know.

          Technically they sell ads that rely on user data they collected. I was just trying to say they are uniquely evil in that their entire business model revolves around user data while claiming they are a search company or OS company or email company whatever project they will start and kill next.

          Most POS companies like LexisNexis are very open about their business model being people’s personal info.
