I’ve been encouraged lately to volunteer at EA orgs… and while it’s not a cheap test, I do think it covers some of the points you’ve raised—checking that skills (& attitude!) align with the org. As well as trialing personal fit for the volunteer.
Of course, volunteering isn’t always feasible, so I’m glad you’ve presented some other great options too. From specifically an AI safety perspective, the space is evolving so quickly that adaptability (and fresh approaches) in hiring feels essential.
Appreciate the perspective!
