Well, if you want money, go with the money.

For me it is consulting in crypto and algorithmic trading, but there are other high-paying areas to consider. Like adtech, but I am not sociopathic enough for that.

It is harder to find a side gig as a generic (no pun intended) Go developer, you’d want to specialize in something.

Why adtech is more sociopathic than algorithmic trading? Honest question, especially because both are so similar (algorithmic usage of information in fast marketplaces).

[atemerev]

Because in adtech, you have to manipulate people much more directly, without going through the equalizer of electronic marketplaces.

Also, at least in crypto, nearly all people are here voluntarily, they know that they are in the adversarial environment, a fighting arena. In adtech, you are up against the innocent.

Its not like adtech is inherently evil work...but as @atemerev noted, the industry makes one feel like you *have* to do shady things to achieve goals, do your work, etc. II'm sure there are good, honest people in the induystry. But in essence its basic manipulation...so many people (myself included) have issues working in such an environment, at least for the most part.
