The Real Value of a Job
I got a permanent government job with lucrative perks.
I joined the permanent government job with immense hope.
It was a scientist's job to conduct research and developments in critical technologies for the defense ministry.
The defense research department was under the supervision of a respected person who later became the president of India!
The job was giving a good salary and perks.
It had full pension benefits.
But, there was a little problem!
But, I was not satisfied with the lucrative government job.
The scientist's job in the government defense R&D organization had no freedom of research and innovation. It was a tedious job of a technical manager!
Above that, the department was filled with corrupt technocrats, whose morale was too low, comparable with corrupt politicians!
The respected advisor of the department had a pretended image of a saint and supported all the corrupted practices.
I was not surprised when the same person accepted the invitation of the ruling political party to be the president of India. (He later tried to get nomination for the president position for the second term!)
The real value of a job relies on ethics and conscience.
I quit my permanent government job in 2007.
I worked as a professor in private engineering colleges for about ten years.
I have been working as a freelance developer of technology since 2017.
The earnings of my freelance work are now finite, and often very low compared to the salary of my last government job, but their real value is infinite.
Corrupt policies may give monetary gain, but employees lose mental peace.
Try to be away from jobs that embrace corrupt strategies and techniques.
Concluding thoughts
One can decide how to live.
Either live with dignity, high morale, and ethical standards.
Or make little and big compromises here and there, and earn a high income.
It is up to you.
=> Do whatever your conscience says you to do.
I thank @flapiz .. because the idea came while writing a comment on her article.

I'm wondering how could you directly talk about him like he was so and so. He or someone close to him can see him and being at such a good position they can harm you.
Ahhha glad to know you worked as a professor. I respect teachers and especially mine. No doubt I have been learning for you too it make you my teacher.
Yes I could be less than that government job, but at least you are satisfied and not being a part of that corruption. I really respect your decision
