Executive summary: Ambitious Impact (AIM) is expanding its programs to create more “on-ramps” for high-impact careers, aiming to help talented individuals overcome final barriers and enter impactful roles across multiple fields.
Key points:
AIM is building targeted “on-ramps” for careers like charity entrepreneurship, grantmaking, founding-to-give, and research to help skilled individuals overcome final barriers to impactful roles.
When evaluating career paths, both impact per person and “absorbency” (how many people can enter the field) should be considered.
AIM advocates for creating more connections with institutions outside EA to increase career absorbency.
Individuals should map out concrete steps to reach their desired career path rather than building general skills indefinitely.
Organizations should create theories of change for specific career paths and identify where people get “trapped” at high levels.
The EA movement should be more ambitious in building infrastructure to direct large numbers of people into impactful careers.
