Edit: I’m really happy about my involvement with EA, always have been, and plan to continue increasing my engagement.
I stopped applying for EA jobs because I wasn’t even getting a foot in the door. Edit: This reads as sour, really I just got tired of applying for jobs and didn’t feel that it made sense to keep aiming for reach scenarios during a pandemic.
I’ve become more involved on the Discord because I like it, and my involvement pretty much exists completely outside of cause area discussion. I just like the people. But it does definitely passively increase my attention spent on EA ideas.
I moved to SF to meet EAs and moved out due to COVID.
I may have become a little less altruistic in general due to lower QoL causing scarcity mindset, but I expect this to reverse.

Yep my expectation was correct, it has reversed.
That’s a good update to hear! (It’s cool that you came back to this comment to note whether your expectations were met.)
