Hi Luca, thanks for presenting this opportunity. A question about career choices:
I currently live in Denmark and am an active member of EA Denmark. One thing that strikes me is that many of our most committed members go off to other countries, particularly the UK or US to make an EA career. Is this a sensible decision in terms of impact?
My thinking is, although matchmaking possibilities are better in a bigger country (i.e. not many cultured meat companies in DK). Much of what pushes people to move abroad might be “bigger country = bigger impact”, without considering that there is (in a best case scenario) a linear scaling of competition for said impact. In short, that it may be better to be a “big fish in a small pond”. Especially in small Scandinavian countries that have more functional politics than the UK & US, and lots of other benefits in the same line.
