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.

    Being in that industry, how do you avoid this at some other company? Surely Microsoft has the same problems for example.

      If you've got a strong enough AI/Algorithms background to pull a 200k+ Google job you can also get, like a 120k+ job at pretty much any logistics/optimisation consulting company or any company big enough to have their own logistics department.

      I don't know where you are specifically but if you want to make sure you're not working for anyone too horrible shipping and mining companies and places that consult specialise in consulting to shipping and mining companies are usually fairly safe bets, at least compared to the big 5.
