Hi Nathan, indeed the scarcity of EA jobs creates a lot of frustration within the EA community as eloquently expressed by this post, and quoting the 2019 EA Survey:
“Two of the top four significant barriers to becoming more involved in EA were not enough job opportunities that seemed like a good fit for me (29%) and too hard to get an EA job (23%).”
We believe that HIP as a career path can help with that because it can allow a large number of people to have an impact.
Don’t hesitate to book a slot for a chat, we would love to hear more about your experience and see if we can be of any help.
I have a half-written post which talks on some of the issues of:
lots of rejections for EA roles
being asked to apply, quickly rejected and then wondering if your goodwill was being taken advantage of in the 2-4 hour application writing process
applying to lots of similar hiring processes and wondering if there couldn’t be a process that was cheaper on applicants time
I’m not seeking to be moody, but it has been 10s of hours of my life I won’t get back. I imagine it’s a pretty colossal amount of EA time, in total.
Happy to chat if that feels useful
Nathan, I’m interested in hearing more about this. Can we connect on LinkedIn ?
