Surprising advice from the advertising industry, where the tech industry seems to be hading to, and why I refused a couple of potentially lucrative gigs. All in one article!
Great read! It’s easy to say “we value quality/people/sustainability” but the moment a deadline slips, a customer yells, or a shiny revenue opportunity appears, so often the “principle” becomes a preference. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing read, I had such similar process as someone who fought tooth and nail to get a job in tech. Moved back to academia after feeling all of this first-hand in industry. Super interested in chatting.

Thanks Alex,
We all face those hard decisions, and it's not easy to be consistent. No-one is "pure", and what matters is awareness and reflection.

Hello Ambrose
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I've added you to the list of people to "inform" when things start moving.
This is a busy period, so I'm targeting January for a first meetup. Stay tuned!
