In case it’s helpful, the first thing below the title on the job board says: >Some of these roles directly address some of the world’s most pressing problems, while others may help you build the career capital you need to have a big impact later.
I’d be interested in any ideas you had for communicating more clearly that a bunch of the roles are there for a mix of career capital and impact reasons. Giving our guess of the extent to which each role is being listed for career capital vs impact reasons isn’t feasible for various reasons unfortunately.
You have that line there, but I didn’t notice it in years, and I recently talked to other people who didn’t notice it and were also very surprised. The only person I think I talked to who maybe knew about it is Caleb, who wrote this shortform.
Everyone (I talked to) thinks 80k is the place to find an impactful job.
Maybe the people I talk to are a very biased sample somehow, it could be, but they do include many people who are trying to have a high impact with their career right now

TL;DR: I think this is very under communicated

I checked if people know this by opening a poll for the EA Twitter community:
Could you say more on why it’s not feasible? Maybe it’s something we could solve?
Just saying, filtering the jobs by org does sound good to me (in almost all situations), in case that’s the bottle neck.
“This org—we think it’s impactful. That org—just career building”
