Thanks for writing this, Lauren. This resonates a lot and I don’t think it’s limited to the animal welfare space.
At High Impact Professionals, we take a holistic approach to high-impact careers, encouraging experienced professionals to think about how they can use their skills, money, and network most effectively. Some of those paths sit within non-profits, but many don’t.
I’d love to see more examples of these kinds of career paths shared, as I believe it would make them much more tangible for others to explore.
Thanks Nina! I love this holistic approach, I would say that at least for AAC we take the approach of understanding the highest leverage roles in our space and try to nudge people towards them.
I do think there is an ecosystem gap in the career advising space on mapping out these higher leverage positions outside of non profits and if possible designing programmes to help people concretely land these roles. I’m not sure if this is outside the scope of HIP but I’m not sure how one can advise people on what paths are most impactful without this concrete understanding first, unless it’s more coaching and less advising.
