Since last semester, we have made career 1-on-1s a mandatory part of our introductory program.
This semester, we will have two 1-on-1s
The first one will be a casual conversation where the mentee-mentor get to learn more about each other
The second one will be more in-depth, where we will share this 1-on-1 sheet (shamelessly poached from the 80K), the mentees will fill it out before the meeting, have a ≤1 hour long conversation with a mentor of their choice, and post-meeting, the mentor will add further resources to the sheet that may be helpful.
The advice we give during these sessions ends up being broader than just the top EA ones, although we are most helpful in cases where:
— someone is curious about EA/adjacent causes — someone needs graduate school related questions — general “how to best navigate college, plan for internships, etc” advice

Do y’all have something similar set up?
Also, for those interested in animal welfare specifically: https://www.animaladvocacycareers.org/
Seems fine to direct people to 80,000 Hours for AI/x-risk, Animal Advocacy Careers for animal welfare and Probably Good more generally.
