I’ve heard the view that more EAs should consider being research assistants to seemingly highly skilled EA researchers[1], both for their own learning and to improve those researchers’ productivity. Is this what you mean?
I didn’t deliberately exclude mention of this from my above comment; I just didn’t think to include it. And now that you mention it (or something similar), I’d be interested in Owen’s take on this as well :)
[1] One could of course also do this for highly skilled non-EA researchers working in relevant areas. I just haven’t heard that suggested as often; I’m not sure if there are good reasons for that.
