The causes I feel are the most important are factory farming, wild animal suffering and S-risks (these, I believe, cause or have the potential to cause the most suffering while being hugely neglected).
Key uncertainty: The tractability of working on wild animal suffering seems to be a huge problem.
What to do about the uncertainty: Read up on what is already being done (Arthropoda foundation, Wild Animal Initiative) and what the prospects are.
Aptitudes to explore: community building, organization running/​boosting, supporting roles.
Keep volunteering for an effective organization while also recruiting new people into EA in free time; learn how to communicate ideas better.
I’m donating monthly to effective charities, volunteering my skills and engaging with the community.
