I think there’s a lot of local maxima that are very juicy. I would encourage people to look at the opportunities around them that others would miss, and try my best to foster a culture that helps its members discover them.
A great example of someone doing this is Abdurrahman who took the initiative to create EA in Arabic which I expect will be really impactful. I don’t expect there were many EA jobs available to him in Saudi, but he looked around and found a gap (no resources on EA in one of the world’s biggest languages) and executed on the opportunity.
I am currently looking into an animal welfare intervention which South American EA’s would be much better suited to do than anyone else. Some time ago I looked into policy interventions to improve the water sanitation efforts of the Jal Jeevan Mission in India. An Indian EA from the right state would be much better suited to carry out the sanitation advocacy for JJM than I am.
I’ve yet to find a region of the world without opportunities, but most of them won’t be listed in a career guide!

I love this and would second it. Opportunities are everywhere.
