Right? I'm getting downvoted but I can't stand it when people born in the west think their morals matter in the name of surviving and first generation success. Yeah downvote me, most people would STILL work for facebook me included. That's a damn good pay cheque.
I would not work at Facebook regardless of the paycheck. Granted I doubt they want a conservative veteran working for them so the feeling is mutual.
Would you also be open to committing crimes (stealing, robberies, etc) if it improves your situation?

Facebook is doing large-scale fraud (dark patterns & deceiving users, among other things) stalking and profiting off malicious ads & scams. That’s criminal by my standards.

Tech jobs are paying insane rates.

If you need to work at one of the top five tech giants in order to manage your debt then your story must be a catastrophic one.
