PeterGriffin;216824Will you work for a tobacco company? No - the smell of tobacco makes me nauseous!
Will you work for a alcohol company? Yeah..though a non-drinker, i wouldn't mind working for a company that sells alcohol!
Will you work (as a programmer, database admin, QA etc) for a company that sells adult contents? No! I don't think i can do that. I don't want to explain to my future employer that i was instrumental in the design of the latest sex toy "JackHammer 2000"! or i was the graphics designer in the latest Ron Jeremy movie!

Oh PG! You shouldn't have written this!
Is it ok to change my policy now? :)
I'm interviewing with a company in one of these industries and I started to think about my principles and crap like that. The role is really good and matches with my expectations. There's still a fair bit to go with regards to the hiring process but I'm starting to think about it.

Are you considering a company that sells adult content? :) Now, the question is, will you avail of the employee discount? :)

or have a PG's corner in this forum and newcomers are not allowed in there :)

I'll divulge the industry later but it has got me thinking about it so much that I'm really confused. On one hand, the role is really good. The hiring manager seemed to be a nice guy and articulated the position and the expectations really well. But on the other hand, I'm thinking about how it would look on my resume and my principles. I guess, if I'm thinking hard about my principles then I shouldn't have any.

you really need to be careful with the words you use in your post..:).

PG, it's a career decision which down the road can even impact R2I plans and can impact family finance too. Don't worry about what you had written in the forum in the past. As long as the offer is good and can help improve your skill set, go for it. You are doing this job legally and whether the products of the company you work for is good or bad for mankind is not in your control. If not you, some one else will take that offer but the company isn't going to shut down.

I can understand your dilemma though, Good luck.

OMG PG where you going?:emdgust:

PG,
Have you told this to your parents :)

laks0;364079PG,
Have you told this to your parents :)

And if so, did they still give your some curd to eat before setting out for interview? :)

Why eat curds before exams/interview.

laks0;364079PG,

Wanted to wait till I get an offer..so still a long way to go.
I wanted to read this thread and revive it for other members to post about what they would do!
