I see where Zach is coming from and I sort of agree with his assessment of my work at RP. While I’m proud of what I did (including unpublished/internal/ supporting role stuff), ultimately I don’t think my work at RP was unusually impactful within my cause area, and I think my manager will agree. (I felt conflicted about wild animal welfare as a cause area and part of the reason I was ready to leave RP when I did to do moratorium organizing is that I had lost confidence that WAW was tractable. My work that is public was on the best interventions within the cause area, which were way lower impact than, say, farmed animal welfare, so in EA absolute impact terms I think that work can only be so good.)
