I specifically said I don’t judge others for working there now and just wanted to add to the conversation by explaining how my thoughts changed over time. I do not think I was or am brave for any of my career decisions.
I was 20 when I started working in big tech and the reputation of those companies was at its absolute peak. I had a lot to learn.
Not ideal I guess but better than no reckoning at all.
Have you been offered a job in a BigTech that pays 3 times your current salary, and did you decline it?
It's easy to criticise others when you are not confronted to the situation.
100% - however, if you are great enough to get such an offer from bigtech you won’t really worry about your finances…
younger-me, I would 100% take the money. older-and-wiser me would not even apply to begin with

Exactly :-). The only way for younger "us" to get older-and-wiser is to get older in the process :-).
