  • I was in a very similar situation a couple years ago, I was scouted by a recruiter for Axon (who make body cams and tazers). It was a bump from my current role, but I realized that if I was struggling before even taking the role then either

    1. I’d be struggling even worse after taking it, which would make me miserable

    Or

    1. I’d realize that I wasn’t struggling with it anymore, and that’d make me really miserable.

    Ignore the people telling you to take the job as some kind of infiltrator/ insider/ conscientious objector: you’re not going to change or dismantle the company from the inside, you’re just going to end up being constantly stressed and miserable each day until you eventually quit. The better solution is to fine a role somewhere that you feel actively helps people.
