Sometimes I wonder if I have a responsibility to use my marketing skills for activism, even if it risks my career. But then, don't I also deserve a job I love? This struggle is keeping me up at night.

Activism is great! Just make sure you are fighting for causes worth your time, lots of people these days falling prey to misinformation and backing superficial causes

Only in the 2010s did you have a moment where corporations seemed compel to allow for select activism—or even partake in it themselves. It’s always been risky otherwise and it’s starting to revert to how things were before the end of Occupy.

I wouldn’t think of it as a responsibility. There are ways you can be supportive of movements in a way that doesn’t put you in a direct threat, such as contributing money. If you have a passion for activism, explore that in a way that works for you.

I recently switched to a developer role in a product based company from a support engineer for past 4 years in a service based company. I got a good hike as well.

Since I did it I think anyone can do it. Let me know if my experience can be of your any help.
Happy to help!
