My understanding is that competition for EA jobs is extremely high, and that roles that are being posted attract sufficient numbers of outstanding candidates. This seems to be strong evidence to me that a fair share of people applying to EA jobs should consider ETG unless they have reason to believe that they specifically outshine other applicants for EA jobs (i.e., that the job would not be filled by an equally competent person).
If competition for jobs is high, I think that could also mean a field needs more community-builders, entrepreneurs, or operations and management people. (Maybe more funding would let orgs offer higher salaries to attract more non-EA talent, but maybe EA-alignment is really important in those roles)
