Throwaway for anonymity reasons.

I learned to code. I am good enough to get a job at a Google/Amazon/Facebook. Should I do it? I feel like it would be working for the devil, but I also feel like almost every job is like that. $200k/yr sounds pretty nice.

    Do it, we're not going to take down google by us all just refusing to work for them.

    I saw a video a while ago about what to do with your life if you want to eventually help in a revolution. They made the point that every revolution always has plenty of poets, artist, theorist, historians, etc. What they need to tech and health professionals. The kind of people that immigrate to a capitalist country the second any sort of change starts.

    So get the job, get the experience, do mutual aid, enjoy your life, and be there if we ever get the opportunity to challenge capitalism.

      Revolutions need money from somewhere and Google has the most. If you're gonna be exploited might as well be paid well for it and you can give away money.
