Having read a few forum posts over the past couple of weeks, I wanted to become a bit more active and start commenting.
I’ve recently started the process of reviewing EA career options (over at 80k hours), and plan to pivot to a more EA-aligned role in a year or so. I’ve studied mechanical engineering, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD related to engineering and climate change. Also, I’m in the process of becoming a certified systemic coach (for coaching individuals and teams). I live in Braunschweig, Germany.
Looking forward to get in touch with people here, to get ideas about a new job/role, and to interesting discussions!
welcome to the forum and to EA! We have local groups in Hannover, Göttingen and Magdeburg. Hannover has an online reading group, Göttingen has weekly meetings in person & hybrid (we are doing a career workshop at the 13/11/22). Magdeburg seems to be inactive since 2020.
So, if you want to connect, this would be a possibility. I can give you the contact information for each group if you want.
Thank you for your kind and helpful reply! I’ll send you a private message regarding your offers.

Edit: There is now a local EA group in Braunschweig: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/groups/TGgHpPNHnM4sS6Gcc. I’m leaving this comment here mostly so that people stumble upon it if they search the forum for Braunschweig (or Wolfsburg). If you read this and are from the Braunschweig area, get in touch! =)

Hello Malte,

Also, today is the last day to apply for the career fellowship from EA Germany:
