Unless you're CxO, or joining a 5 person startup, you're not influencing anything.

The WhatsApp founders had more influence that an engineering plebe would ever hope to have and still failed to change facebook's wicked ways.

My experience has been different. I'm fairly confident I've moved the needle on security and privacy at other large companies and I don't think it's irrational to think I might do so again, given the right role.
