Thanks for doing that survey and sharing it. This seems potentially quite helpful for EA meta workers & funders, much appreciated!
Minor question (feel free to ignore if busy): Results of EA surveys (both this one and others) seem to often be shared >6 months after the data was collected, and to me it feels at least somewhat outdated by then. Curious to hear if you have any thoughts on that and benefits/costs of sharing sooner.
Hey Manuel, sorry for the late reply, but thanks for your comment!
I agree it would be better for the results of EA surveys (including this one) to be published earlier. The reason the census results came out in June was because:
In January-March, I had to prioritize other tasks/projects instead of analyzing and writing the census results
Analyzing and writing the census results took longer than I expected
We’ll try to publish the results for this year’s census a bit earlier.
We’ve already personally spoken about the EA Survey (separate from this survey), of course. But for the sake of other organisers, I’ll flag that we’re generally happy to provide private analyses to orgs and other movement builders before the formal public posts go out. We’ve already provided 15-20 such private reports this year.
