It’d take more looking into stuff/thinking to talk about the other points, but I wanted to comment on something quickly: thank you for pointing out that the philosophy phd career profile and the competitiveness of the field wasn’t sufficiently highlighted on the GPR problem profile . We’ve now added a note about it in the “How to enter” section.
I wrote the career review when I’d first started at 80k, and for me it was just an oversight not to link to it and its points more prominently on the GPR problem profile.
Nice! I should have mentioned somewhere: the 80K website is huge and has tons of articles on partly-overlapping topics, written over many years by a bunch of different people. If there’s an inconsistency, my first guess would have been that one of the articles is out-of-date or they’re just different perspectives at 80K that no one noticed need to be brought into contact to hash out who’s right.
Thanks Arden! I should probably have said it explicitly in the post, but I have benefited a huge amount from the work you folks do, and although I obviously have criticisms, I think 80K’s impact is highly net-positive.

That’s kind of you to say : )
