We should start a support group. Seems like there are lots of us who want to leave tech for something that matters.
There are tech companies that only think they're doing good. But there are plenty that are doing good, and they would love your help. By all means pursue things elsewhere, but not because you think there are no opportunities in tech.

Personally, I believe I can do far more good writing and pushing public policy than any amount of code. That is "operating at scale".
Why?
I always enjoyed chemistry and research. I would be doing it because I find it interesting, not for the multitude of reasons for my career choices so far - money, geography, future potential growth.
I've always dreamed of leaving behind Silicon Valley and pursuing emergency medicine. I need to stay the course for a while to ensure my college approaching kids are taken care of but stories like this are inspiring reminders that age doesn't have to be a factor when I finally decide to make the move.
There used to be a Silicon Valley CEO who was also a San Jose police officer in his spare time, but I don't recall his name.
Can this guy be president?

It's a ten-year commitment, roughly, to become a practicing ER doc. And in today's industry, you'll spend the overwhelming majority of your time doing documentation on shit that should've been seen by a PCP, not an emergency department. And definitely not treating emergencies. You'll be lucky if you see one or two a day in a major ED; in smaller ED's, even one a week is optimistic.
If you want to jump in with eyes wide open, more power to you. Most days, I can't tell you whether I regret my move or not.

How do you think a doctor feels when he sees some fat patient going into the donut shop (or all you can eat buffet) after he told them to go on a diet and lose weight. (is this worse than the person who dies of bad genes caused heart attack despite talking their medications, exercising and eating well - another thing doctors see)

It doesn't matter what you do, there will be days you wish you had a different job.
