I resonate with your second point, Michael. It’s easy to accept skill shortages as claimed by word of mouth (we trust people we know), but more persuasive evidence is the ease of finding a job—the actual market. I also presume that there is relatively high matching efficiency for EA generalist jobs already as the 80k job board is well-established in the space, meaning that employers are finding the right people already.
That’s not to say that I don’t resonate with Emily’s message—I do, and am similarly navigating a shortage of EA generalist roles to apply for.
