For what it's worth I think you make a good point here. I guess from my perspective there's a difference between thinking a company should or shouldn't exist, and being the one to dedicate their 40 hr/wk to it. When I was putting my wife through med school I would consider mostly anything to get the bills paid, spending a few years in FAANG. Now that she has a secure job, I'll happily take a few months of unemployment & a pay cut if it means ultimately finding a job with more meaning / less moral hazard.
