Tangentially related is the movement of Effective Altruism, which is basically espousing taking a high paying job and then using the rewards to make a change.

The existence of a "movement" makes it much more likely to succeed. If you are working at Goldman Sachs during the day, you need to be talking to Effective Altruism friends at night, or you will almost certainly be washed away in the current of Goldman Sachs value systems.

I'd temper the above statement a bit. The "get rich, then donate a lot" strategy is one of the paths popular in Effective Altruism.
