Discuss impactful career planning with fellow community members! Special guest Vaidehi Agarwalla will help frame the conversation based on her experiences working at EA and non-EA organizations and helping to troubleshoot the EA talent ecosystem.
Vaidehi will give a quick overview of some common failure modes in the EA careers landscape and is happy to answer additional questions before/throughout the group discussion. If you’d like to (optionally) prepare before the event, check out this post from Vaidehi!
Weather permitting, this event will also take place outside! We’ll provide picnic blankets and plant-based snacks to help make the most of the discussion. Guests are welcome to bring additional vegan snacks/dishes at their discretion—though, we adhere to a strictly vegan food policy at all of our events! (If you’re not sure if something is vegan, please don’t feel obligated to find anything—we will have more than enough tasty snacks for everyone!)
