Yeah I think EA just neglects the downside of career whiplash a bit. Another instance is how EA orgs sometimes offer internships where only a tiny fraction of interns will get a job, or hire and then quickly fire staff. In a more ideal world, EA orgs would value rejected & fired applicants much more highly than non-EA orgs, and so low-hit-rate internships, and rapid firing would be much less common in EA than outside.
Hmm, this doesn’t seem obvious to me – if you care more about people’s success then you are more willing to give offers to people who don’t have a robust resume etc., which is going to lead to a lower hit rate than usual.
