The upshot is: I recommend only choosing this career entry route if you are someone for whom working exclusively at EA organisations is incredibly high on your priority list.
I think taking a role like this early on could also be high-value if you’re trying to determine whether working in a particular cause area is for you. Often it’s useful to figure that out pretty early on. Of course, the fact that it isn’t the exact same job as you might be doing later on might make it less valuable for this.
