Sure, I'm helping usher in the end of democracy in America and pushing for the same elsewhere, but what am I supposed to do, move out of this specific city?

Yeah I have no sympathy.

I'd rather take a cleaning job or something than work for meta.

I once got an offer to work for one of those large mobile gambling app companies as a developer. Probably big money in there too.

I declined and continued to be out of a job for 9 more months, and I still feel like I did the right thing. I wouldn't have had any self-respect working there.
