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.

    I consider most “for profit” corporations as corrupt and amoral.

    So, yes. Those are the only ones who pay close to a living wage.

        That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It’s not an experience I’d be excited to repeat.

          I think you can apply that to any area regardless of whether they are for or non-for profit.

            No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

            Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.

          I don’t think that’s universal. I work for a NFP and the pay is about the same but the work environment is far, far better.

      Agreed. I wouldn’t want to, say, work for a defense contractor, bit I’ve worked in traditional finance for years now, and I definitely disagree with it.
