are there any big/household name tech companies that meet these three requirements: 1) pays well 2) located in a major urban center 3) not evil like, you've got Apple Pay: Pretty good, I hear Evil level: Mild -- privacy advocation, but also love to replace industry standard stuff with proprietary junk Location: More like Cuperti-no. Or I guess now unincorporated Travis County or something Amazon Pay: Pretty solid, although I hear the stock grants are kinda handcuff-y Evil level: Moderate. -- Dying fulfillment workers and putting lots of people out of a job and companies out of business. Location: Seattle, or Pay: Pretty great from what I hear Evil level: High. Harvesting your recovery phone number for advertising purposes, scraping address books to build shadow profiles on every person alive, shady marketing, the list goes on. Location: Silicon Valley (Palo Alto?), but at least they have a big office in New York Pay: Pretty good. Evil level: Moderate. Tracking location info even if you turn it off. Basically an ad company. Location: Mountain View is lame, but at least their second largest office is in NYC. Microsoft Pay: Good, I think? Evil level: Mild. Less monopoly stuff these days, probably the only big company advocating for more oversight of AI. Windows Server licensing is still annoying, I guess. Location: Redmond? I am not aware of them having any big offices outside this, just lots of tiny sales offices all over. Maybe Dropbox? I hear they pay well, and have offices in SF/NY. But I'm not clear how they make money when they're competing with Apple/Microsoft/Google, who are largely just bundling storage with their products.

i think apple and amazon's labor practices put them at about the same level of evil as facebook. facebook is evil to its users, apple/amazon are evil to non-corporate workers.

search advertising doesn't really require any "evil" since everything you wanted to know about the ad target is in the search term

Microsoft is good because they actually produce some products that don't require wholesale harvesting of the end user's pornography habits.

Milwaukee’s Worst MSP decided to let me go after two months so, if anyone in the Milwaukee area is looking for a marginally competent server bitch/NOC Jock, “slide into my DMs” (as the kids say these days). I think they caught me looking for jobs on the clock so I can’t be too pissed of, tbh?

How do people handle booking time off for interviewing? super annoying when work want notice in advance, prospective companies gotta pull a bunch of people together , booking random days off in the middle of the week is weird, recruiters seem totally incapable of relaying the availability they asked me for
