My intuition used to be that continental European political careers were generally maybe not the best career option for people interested in effective altruism, but now with the EU and especially Berlin and Paris becoming less insular, more important with more international influence (Brussels effect, G-Zero world etc.), I’m more inclined to think it’s perhaps the competitive advantage for people from those countries with the right personal fit.
(I think you could tell readers that there’s a german version further down, I read the English version until I realized that there was a German one oops).
Excellent post—really enjoyed reading it.
