at 28 the most you'll make at big tech is $500k right now. there are people who are raking in $10M+ per year in their 20s, and they ain't thinking about charity or retiring.

the best way to improve the world is to create new businesses that innovate in niche areas or pioneer brand-new industries, thereby employing thousands of people in the process and raising GDP per capita more than you could have as an employee.

then when you get rich and "make it", you can create your own philanthropy and donate if you so choose.
