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!
I don’t, and haven’t, and I’ve lived in poverty before that the average person would find humiliating.
That said, I can see I have a stronger sense of righteousness than the average person, probably due to some type of neurodivergence. I have dealt with plenty of bullying for it. So the pain that comes from it sometimes is something I’m used to and no longer afraid of.
It’s easier once you lose the fear. Fear is what pushes people to compromise their morals.
It also helps that I’m relatively smart and can always find alternative options so far.
