You need to make money or “purpose” won’t matter. If you have to have a boring job to make money, do that and find purpose in your free time.
Unless the job is too boring or too long. A job you don’t love or even like is acceptable, but a job you hate isn’t worth it. Or you really think you have a better opportunity.
I can't really think of a purposeful tech job that doesn't pay comfortably. There are plenty of purposeless jobs that pay terribly though. It might be different for certain other jobs like being a teacher or nurse.
