>>10312521Out of principle, mostly. I'm objectively underpaid at my current job, but I get to do lots of cool work on problems that have a large impact on many people. My coworkers are all wonderful people as well.
I would much rather be underpaid and doing something I love and personally agree with, than working for a megacorporation which makes a significant portion of its money showing people obnoxious ads that they don't want to see. Maybe if I start a family and my personal matters change, I'd switch over to working for them or something similar, but now I have a lot of freedom to do just what I want.
