Ask HN: Public Benefit Jobs?
I am in my last year of software engineering at university. I am struggling with the idea of working for a large company, especially ones that produce things that are harmful to us all (social media being a leading issue). I don't care about making any money for myself as I live a simple life, and I want to build something useful or at the very least neutral in its effect on us.
That brings me to public benefit corporations, nonprofits, etc. However, in a lot of situations the only PBCs I see are crypto... "companies" or spinoffs from massive companies. What I'm talking about when I say "public benefit" is a group of people working to build an open source, highly reproducible weather station that could be easily and cheaply distributed to people in need.
Any ideas?
