      It’s not hard. I’ve worked in education, grant management, county government, online retail (that one was marginally not evil), and a bunch of others. You just have to know when to say yes and when to say no.

      As a rule of thumb, the more ethical companies are going to be smaller shops as opposed to household names, because they’re siphoning less of the economic value they produce into bloat and “hyperscaling”. Yet there are plenty such shops in every field doing quality work for clients at fair prices; they’re just not the ones making waves and catching press.

      If you’re seriously looking for something though, tell me your niche or PM your CV, and I’ll see if I can’t find something reasonable.

        Startups are most often not ethical either. They are often run by a wannabe dictator who does everything that benefits them, especially squeezing the employees while underpaying.

        Mid-size companies usually don’t have enough money to act ethical when it comes down to it.

        Large size corporations only got there by not working ethically.

      They would literally make more money by job-hopping in pursuit of such a company, but you’re right. Even a single team that remembers what ethics are is a big ask.
