My man’s not wrong. Adtech has some seriously cool engineering problems and scale. It’s its own form of high frequency trading mixed with everyone you’d imagine from a modern day Mad Men. Plus tons and tons and tons of money.

But that's different from money pays by bills. And I think it's also important to recognize that there can be some fun in this due to the challenge.

I started on another side of engineering and I get that. Building rockets is exciting and fun. But while you build those things it's easy to forget you're building something much more destructive.

It’s not different. I take jobs to pay bills and in the selection process pick opportunities that offer career growth and interesting problems. Money pays the bills.
