It sounds like you’re saying that there are many EAs investing tons of time in doing things that are mostly only useful for getting particular roles at 1-2 orgs. I didn’t realize that.
I don’t know that. But it seems like a possibility. [EDIT: Sally’s story was inspired by cases I’m familiar with, although it’s not an exact match.] And even if it isn’t happening very much, it seems like we might want it to happen—we might prefer EAs branch out and become specialists in a diverse set of areas instead of the movement being an army of generalists.
