Pays the mortgage. And its better than working for Wall St, the NSA, Indian body shop or random chaotic startup.

Does not pay as well as Wall Street. Not sure which one is less ethical, though. Also, both provide useful services but destroy a lot of the ecosystem they operate in.

Probably less pressure and bureaucracy than Wall Street though

Finance and the internet giants both cover a wide range of pay and a wide range of bureaucracy.

The top end of both domains pay rather well and has moderate bureaucracy.

Depends where you're at. Levandowski got paid $120 million, IIRC? Obviously an edge case, but it's hard to imagine an engineer in Wall Street making that much.

(And he may never work again after this scandal runs through... but he also probably will never truly need to work again anyways.)
