Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world. I'd take 300k/usd year and all of the benefits too. Let's stop pretending that traditional companies are somehow better so you either don't work for any corporation or actually work for one that provides incredibly benefits to you so you have the luxury to give back and steer the ship towards good a little bit.
Personally, I wouldn't but this is the reasoning most employees have when joining Meta.
No I understand that they pay very well what I'm saying is it just seemed odd that you would go to work for such a company without knowing that you were essentially walking with the devil.
If you make peace with that then absolutely fine, but it then seems a bit odd to turn around and be suddenly offended by something as if they hadn't already been doing stuff like that all along.
lolwut
They pay a lot, but everyone knows they're overworked like hell. Meta is a shit-tier employer, but if you're a young masochist then they're worth a few years to pad your accounts.
Same with Apple. They pay a lot and it looks fantastic on your resume. Even though in reality the likelihood is that the job you did was basically the same as it would be in any other company, but Apple prestige is a thing.
Please note - 99% of the time on the internet, when someone says "in the wuuurld" they mean "In this one capitalist hellhole country" so in this case it may be correct
Expanding on to your comment:
“In my very limited experience, in my tiny portion of the world, that I may have never left.”
Unless a person has vast experience and has had deep conversations with thousands of people, we as humans just don’t have the ability to appreciate just how radically different life experiences are for people we share the same block with.
Nice try, Zuckerberg...
OK Meta HR...
