Is it ok to job hop for higher pay if it brings you to unethical Wall Street companies?

Ever since this sub got mainstream, the main philosophy has been to not be loyal, and if your place is underpaying you, jump ship for higher pay. Whenever people post about doing that, everyone gives them a “Fuck yeah”. In my job I'm certainly overworked and underpaid and fed up. I got an offer at a big finance company for an absurd amount. More than tripling my salary. Coming from a blue collar family, it would be life changing. But it is essentially making rich people richer. It's exacerbating the stuff we complain about here. I'm torn. What's the right thing to do?
