what is the furthest you’d go immorally for a fresh salary? Hell I’d work for Palantir for a nice $250k or be a manager at Evil Corporation Inc if I got a crisp $300k.
or are you a goody two shoes who will stand by your principles even if it means pain!
The older I get, the more I realise I am susceptible to moral injury. I can’t do evil work without destroying myself. And I don’t mean morally as in I feel a little guilty - I get increased stress, more depressed etc.
But unfortunately, I need to keep a roof over my head and stay fed.
the lucky thing is I have an ability to do incredible things and also do a half assed job. my motivation is a combination of extrinsinct factors like pay and instrinsinct factors like if what im doing is beneficial or harmful.
