Not sure what you are thinking about—but if it is a concern about it all being transactional and everyone focused on just themselves (“must get job”), I didn’t feel that. Going to the EA conferences was the best thing to do to better understand the community, feel the positive energy of 200 to 1400+ smart, passionate people working to improve the world, and to talk with people who could help me test my fit to pivot into the space. I feel we are not fully tapping into all the interest out there. So that made me more open to the entrepreneurial route through Catalyze Impact. I am also still applying for jobs.
