Thank you for writing this up! Purely anecdotal but I’ve been career ‘planning’ (more just thinking, really) for the past year and I’ve increasingly updated towards thinking that EA could draw a lot more from non-EAs, whether in terms of academia/knowledge (e.g. sociology) or professionally (e.g. non-EA orgs).
We don’t have to reinvent the wheel with everything by making orgs EA-aligned—just as much, if not more, impact could be made not going into traditional EA paths—not just EA orgs but other fields ‘neglected’ by the highly-engaged community. I think that’s a pretty common belief around here but perhaps not always clearly communicated!
