Flagging quickly that ProbablyGood seems to have moved into this niche. Unsure exactly how their strategy differs from 80k hours but their career profiles do seem more animals and global health focused
Thanks Geoffry, yes I agree that ProbablyGood have now basically taken over the niche of high EV near-termist career advice and are a great resource. As a doctor, I think their content on medicine as a career is outstanding
A couple of reasons though (from above) why 80,000 hours might still be better having 20-30% near-termist content despite there being a great alternative.
1. Perhaps the argument I’m most interested in is whether 80,000 hours might produce more long-termist workers in the long term by having more of a short term focus.
2. ProbablyGood will probably never be.a “front page” of EA. As in I would imagine that 80,00 hours has 100=1000x the traffic of ProbablyGood, and I doubt many people first contact EA through ProbablyGood (happy to be corrected here though).

I think they’re funded by similar sources to 80k https://probablygood.org/career-profiles/
