Yeah, that all makes sense to me. Thanks for adding those points :)
To be clear, I only meant to highlight that some relevant resources exist, and thus that the particular phrasing I quoted was inaccurate. I definitely didn’t mean to suggest that the existing resources are sufficient and leave no room for additional valuable work to be done here.
And a lot of what you say aligns well with my sense that summaries and collections can often provide a lot of value, as can analyses that draw on existing work in order answer questions that that work didn’t explicitly address (e.g., drawing on literature on climate change to discuss concrete career pathways in which EAs might have a lot of counterfactual impact).
Perhaps some of what you say could be captured by tweaking what I said above to instead say something like:
There is some careers-focused guidance and content available to those interested in pursuing careers in Global Poverty & Health, broader Animal Welfare work, Climate Change, Mental Health, Scientific Research, and other potentially effective cause areas. However, there’s relatively little of this guidance and content, and that which exists tends to be relatively shallow, scattered across many places, and inconsistent in structure and approach, as there’s no organisation focused on providing it. (emphasis added just to highlight what’s different here)
