Looking for jobs in the Bay Area can get pretty depressing. There are so many amazing things and important problems that technology can tackle, and instead, smart people are working on various trivial apps that cater to the SF tech elite, and to the first world in general.<p>Unfortunately the phrase &quot;important world problems&quot; is pretty vague and nobody quite agrees on what these problems are. I&#x27;m thinking poverty, hunger, climate change, antibiotic resistance, stuff like that. It seems more fulfilling to work for a company that facilitates microloans in developing countries, provides analytics for farmers, or distributes solar panels, than for a personalized advertising company or instant laundry service app.<p>Of course this is just my view of things. I&#x27;m curious to hear what all of you think.
