Yes, I wanted to work for a company that makes a positive impact, but one senior manager tried to get me to settle for a lower compensation saying that firefighters or teachers make way less money than IT professionals. I wanted to ask why the executives get millions of dollars as bonuses and are not the ones to be thankful that their salaries are way more than teachers and firefighters. I didn't ask because I am not confrontational and I know that it doesn't make any difference. With experience, you see that most of the values, context or culture people talk about is lip service.
