(I'm still in school but) I realized one way to ease these things is to adopt a very strict consequentialist frame of reasoning morally because having radical politics was draining my energy when faced with how conservative the world is. That makes it very easy to do the harder tech side of things like infra or writing firmware. So Microsoft and Salesforce make sense in software and on the hardware side you can look at writing software for hard tech corps like chipmakers? Those companies outside wild vertical integration like Apple or AWS probably don't have the stellar margins of other FAANG but money really won't be that much of an object if you are looking to do this for like 5-10 more years than other people
