Take the job. You'll gain extremely valuable experience and your career will be changed forever. If you don't like it, jump ship in 12 months.

Personally, I would absolutely. Preferably on Insta/WhatsApp/Video/Messenger though, I wouldn't enjoy working on Facebook's core product.

No.

I don't want to be complicit to a nasty, unethical and sometimes criminal company.

I would also not be comfortable with my employer having that much insight into my private life.

I would if I can work remotely without my salary being "rebalanced" for my location, and if this was my only offer at the moment.

I understand "moral hazards." But, in this economy, it doesn't pay the bills or put food on the table.
