I recently chose to leave a long-term lucrative position at a company for essentially the same core reasons as you express in your article. I, too, could not live with myself supporting an infrastructure built on the same ethos of our current political environment. While I also do not suffer greatly from my choice due to my similar privilege of birth, I marvel at how “brave” and “shocking” my choice was to my fellow colleagues of similar privilege. I agree completely that if we expect the tone to change at the top, the framework that supports it has to demand it and not tacitly support it because we hypocritically enjoy some of the fruits. We do that with our votes, our life choices, and our feet.
