Karthik Tadepalli comments on Request for input: how has 80,000 Hours influenced the direction of the EA community over the past 2 years?

1. The rise and fall of earning-to-give (although over a longer time period than the past two years)

2. Climate change being important but not a top priority (I know this view is held more generally but the 80k problem profile is always the linked-to source for it)

3. I would speculate the job board is probably very important for matching impactful orgs with EA job seekers, but I have no evidence of that

The 80K job board is the second most important referral source of applicants to Rethink Priorities, behind only personal referrals (e.g., inviting specific people to apply and asking people to refer us people to invite to apply). It also holds a large margin over the third best source, which I think is Twitter but I’m not sure.
