alt Hacker NewsDo you have kids? If not, I agree with you. Make the hard decision and take a loss. And thank you for your sacrifice.
If you do, I can't agree with you.
Also I wouldn't compare software development for a marketing company with a violent disagreeable effort. There's bad and there's worse, objectively.
Anyway, not saying you're wrong, but I'm not so quick to judge someone by a job that they probably hate.
Or to wrap 100,000 people in the same blanket. We're all individuals. No one should be judged by the actions of others.
There are companies I wouldn't candidate for, even with kids I think, although it's hard to say, I don't have kids, and apparently there is a mind-shift happening when you get one. Oracle, Palantir come to mind. But maybe not Microsoft, I don't know about that one. It's probably bad, but maybe not "I prefer to watch my kids starving" kind of bad.
