Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?
I was wondering , if you will be ready to work fof an organisation that you oppose ideologically , for instance you are against big oil but you get a job interview in exxonmobil with good pay , would you consider it ?
*Edit : Recently a friend of mine got a marketing job for a company that had shady business practices , selling their product to gullible parents. Since it was a marketing job , the pay was good but my friend left it within a week , saying it does not suit his ideology.

I do. I'm riding out the clock. I've already put the time in and am grandfathered into better retirement/severance benefits than I could get anywhere else. I hate it, but I have a family to feed.
I have been exactly there and was so, so glad when I eventually left.
Could you switch and take a small hit on those big ticket items?
edit: Zero judgement here btw. Just an open question. Capacity to move those benefits varies wildly by country
Not really. I have unavoidable financial obligations coming soon that I will need this payrate for. I actually love the work I do, too, but I have a distaste for the employer, so it's a weird feeling. I get to play with Linux and containerization and Python, which I love, and I'm generally self-managed, so the only thing wrong with the job is that, at the end of the day, my work feels wasted where I'm doing it. On the other hand, I use the skills I gain at work outside of work on OSS stuff, so it's an OK tradeoff.
