Yeah, I don't know about this. Imo, from as soon as you decide to invest in the stock market, you're signing away your ability to call morals as a rationale for any further decision. Where does the line start and end? Would you sell MSFT because of their involvement in Gaza? Sell a broad market index because a company there is doing something 'immoral'? No matter how you invest, you should automatically assume the company is doing something awful.
My opinion though, to each their own. An interesting article!
Yes.
> Sell a broad market index because a company there is doing something 'immoral'?
Honestly, this is a lot harder to do. It depends on your definition of immoral but there are some smaller indexes and ESG funds that vet individual stocks before inclusion.

The Big 4 incentive is to stay as long as possible, build custom code that only they can maintain, upcharge on maintenance while outsourcing it to developing countries.
FDEs sell a product (Foundry, Gotham, GPT, Claude, Databricks). They deploy their platform to solve your problem, then move on. The incentive is to get it working fast, not to embed themselves.
Also, the talent bar is drastically different. Palantir/OpenAI hire top 1% engineers. Accenture... doesn't.

On talent: Accenture and its predecessors used to have really, really smart people.
I guess I'm just being contrarian and saying that all of this has happened before.
