I read your reply as being about the possibility of conversion through additional opportunity (e.g. more job openings). The survey didn’t go into that option, but personally, I’d expect that most attendees would classify new positions as being in this category (e.g. the Research Scholars Programme takes people with some topic-level expertise and helps them boost their research skills and dedication by funding them to work on an EA issue for several months).
