When couples struggle to align career choices with virtue-based technology ethics

My partner and I both work in tech and we've been reading about Confucian approaches to ethical decision-making, but when it comes to our own choices about what projects to take on and what companies to work for, we keep defaulting to just optimizing for money and career advancement. We talk about wanting to contribute to technology that serves human flourishing but we never actually make the harder choices together when opportunities come up.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are finding it difficult to translate their shared moral aspirations into concrete decisions about their professional lives in the tech industry.
