Like who? There aren’t many jobs around, let alone jobs in this field for companies that aren’t evil
Yeah, got headhunted for 10 replace-doctors-with-AI startup for every 1 ed-tech company that even looked at my resume, and the company I'm at now, though good on paper, is squeezing AI into every nook and cranny as fast as they can while sidelining security concerns.
Non-profit
I did non-profit work. If you wanna see absolute abuse of employees, go do non-profit. "You have to stay late (for free). Think of the children!"
They're chronically understaffed while sometimes overstaffed with volunteers who don't add to the expertise and still require experienced training every shift; but you can't ignore their attempt to contribute because "the children" need them. So your day is trying to get routine things done amid relentless interruption for the same thing you told an unskilled empty-nester yesterday.
It makes one say things that sound really bad in the reading of, like the bit above. I promise it's just experience and, while all effort is good, the least beneficial ones do stand out.
