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.

    Absolutely not. I have had recruiters contact me about “defense” (read: murder and imperialism) companies and flat out refused to even consider the jobs.

    I hold the position that if I knowingly helped design a system that delivered a bomb which, for example, blew up someone’s wedding party, I would have to pay the murdered people’s families reparations out of what money I do have, and kill myself to atone for abetting that atrocity. Defense contractors are disgusting, I don’t know how they can delude themselves into doing their evil jobs and keep living with thr shame.
