> But making it a moral argument to work for the most evil corporations on earth to do good just doesn't make sense.

Find me an evil corporation advertised in the job listings. A single one.

Your entire argument is a projection and strawman. You have no idea what you're talking about. The imperative popularized in EA circles is to work in fields that have the most humane impacts where possible, and otherwise donate money you earn by providing value.

If you're going to argue that merely working for FANG or high-earning positions is tantamount to aiding "evil" corporations then you're chastising a lot more people than just EA adherents.

Your whole thing I suspect is informed by the sentiment that making good money must categorically be evil, or some other leftist notion.
