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.

        Idk. It’s probably morally grey at best, but the military is at least honest that they kill people. Air pollution apparently kills 6.7 million people annually, compared to every war put together killing just 0.1 million people annually over the last decade. But the difference is that if you work in air pollution you get to run slick ads bragging about how clean you are, whereas if work in murder-machines you’re more directly confronted with the reality and the gravity of what you’re doing— The latter may be scarier, but the former feels much more gross.
