My co-worker says "there's life outside of financial industry" but, somehow, we get to stick to "financial" jobs.
Well, that's been my experience for the past 15 years or so.
Would you resist making 140K on a base full-time? Keep in mind benefits and bonuses too.
I eventually came to regard it as unethical, so I turn those jobs down.
Furthermore, what does it mean to be good? If you're smarter than your interviewer or know more, they'll reject you. In general, I would say selling yourself has nothing to do with your programming skills.
You're digging a real deep hole and making your project seem remarkably unserious. I would suggest that you stop.
Yeah, a lot of my co-workers including myself don't like it because we're helping the rich get richer plus associated consequences.
