I would really appreciate an explicit definition of ‘direct work’ that this post is using. I was assuming it was my definition in which direct work includes not just work at EA orgs, but also lots of impactful roles e.g. in certain policy areas or certain AI companies. However, some of the comments seem to assume otherwise.
Also if this post does mean ‘working at EA orgs’ rather than a wider ‘direct work’ definition, consider not using the term ‘direct work’ to avoid ambiguity.
