Agreed with much of what was said. I’d say an important addition to the “case for”, RE: Paving the way for other EAs to climb career ladders, is just helping other EAs enter or progress in the space by making introductions / referring them for opportunities.
I think it’s also probably possible to have an impact without being unusually good at climbing ladders / entrpreneurial if you reach a sufficiently senior position at an organisation. E.g. I could imagine if we had ~200 people in mid-senior positions at the world’s top organisations, then while each individual may not be guaranteed to have an impact, but then if there is a need for e.g. an EA organsiation needs an introduction to people at these organisations they are able to get that connection.
