You apparently don't understand that jobs that are actually desirable come at a huge wage discount. Sure, if you want to use your ML skills to push self-destructive ads or play in the stock market, you get a lot more money. But if you use the skills to do something fun/respectable, you get less.
I would find the infrastructure work and scaling of Google, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and AWS (I currently work at AWS on the consulting side) to be very interesting. Working at scale is very interesting to me.
So you're an part of making sure monopoly power is consolidated into the hands of an elite few? Cool. That's right up there with saving the climate, facilitating world peace, et cetera. I couldn't ever think of why chasing mythical treasure would be as fun an stuffing Bezos's mouth with a few more billions.
Yes and I’m sure you value your work at startups where the founders and VCs are putting themselves in a position to sell out to the monopolies? Where pray tell is AWS a “monopoly” where there are two major competitors and the CEO himself said that only 5% of IT spend is on any cloud provider?
Are you feeding starving children in Africa at a non profit? Do you not exchange labor for money? Have you somehow overcome your addiction to food and shelter?

Lol. If you think I think I do good things for a living, you need to tweak your algorithm. I'm just telling you the economics of it.
