Do you mean career change from ânon-EA-influencedâ paths to âEA-influencedâ paths, career changes between âEA-influencedâ paths, or career changes by in general?
Re having one post vs splitting recommendations out: I often use something like the following heuristic: âIf the post contains multiple sets of ideas/âpoints, which are relatively easy to understand without each other, which may offer value by themselves (i.e., without the other set), and which may be valuable/âinteresting to slightly different sets of people, itâs probably worth splitting the post into multiple, more bitesized chunks.â
So Iâd guess that it may be best to split the recommendations out, if they can be understood out of context and if theyâre decently long (something like âat least 500 words, pretty confidently if over 1000 wordsâ).
One counterpoint is that this may be a bad idea when a set of ideas could be âunderstoodâ out of context, but maybe in a distorted form, or with too little emphasis on other considerations. (Like how it might be possible to get people to perfectly understand the earning-to-give concept without other context, but this could lead to it being emphasised too strongly such that 80k/âEA more broadly is misunderstood, as discussed in the fidelity model).
This sounds interesting!
