I think you are conflating your specific cause prioritisation and a general question of how people who care about impact should think. If someone held your course prioritisation then they should clearly work at one of those top organisations, otherwise help with the issues, or earn the highest salary they can and donate that. I.E earning to give. Working at other impact-focused organisations not focused on those top causes wouldn’t make sense. I think that generally you should optimise for one thing rather than half-hardly optimising for several.
However, many people do not share your cause participation which leads to quite different conclusions. I have no regrets about doing direct work myself
