Does feeling like doing what your job/manager asks you to do won't actually be good for their corporate goals make you an imposter? Kind of feels like being a fraud to me and I feel like that's something I worry about more than not deserving technical respect. Might as well work in sales and directly lie to people.
Or worse, finding out that what you do is good for the corporate profit motive but bad for humanity?
Getting what looks like a good job and then when you arrive finding out that you're just being paid with monopoly profits to find new ways of locking customers in, thwarting competition and extracting involuntary customers hard earned wages from real actual work with dark patterns.
Compared with that even getting paid to work on some middle managers pet project that will get canned and forgotten the second he jumps to a new org is probably a positive.
