Thanks, Sandy! Unfortunately it takes quite a bit of work and research to put these kinds of posts together, and I was only able to do these about Congress because I’ve lived in DC for a while and work directly on US policy (and had help from 5+ EAs who have worked in/around Congress). There may be other EAs or EA orgs who could write equivalent posts about the UK government (or other), but to do that well, they would probably need help from people who have actually worked in that ecosystem for several years. Every government system works differently.
Very interesting. Could you please do a similar post for working in the U.K. Government, and / or any other countries with a large EA community.

Hi Sandy, it looks like another member of the Forum ended up writing what you were looking for! https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/J4LkAy9vJmzGPJqBH/working-in-parliament-how-to-get-a-job-and-have-an-impact
