My hot take is, at the level of donations you’re considering, your main consideration should be how impactful your actual job is/how impactful the job that you’re pivoting into could be. Seems worth taking a hit on impact done right now if it allows you to become super high impact in the near future.
Thank you for taking a look and for the suggestions! Not saying I’ve tried super hard to talk these through with an advisor but my attempts did not get much attention so far.
Completely agree that one should prioritize long-term impact. I’m just saying that in case of a temporary funding constraint, choosing not to donate may prevent other, at least equally promising candidates who are in need of funding from investing into their own careers.
