Thanks, Alex. For roles in organisations supported by impact-focussed funders like Open Philanthropy or EA Funds, do you have guesses for the difference between hired and best rejected candidates in $/​year donated to the organisation hiring? I understand this depends on the organisation and role, but any thoughts are welcome.
[...] If you forced me to in some hypothetical I’d guess X [the aforementioned difference] is quite low for many junior roles (<$10k), but higher for more mid/​senior roles (>$50k?). [...]
Taking all of this into account, I think a reasonable proxy would be around $1M per year donated to mid-stage/​AIM charities, which would be worthwhile versus one additional founder. However, I think the variance across cause areas is substantial (it could be half this for animals/​mental health and double for global health, or even four times higher for EA meta). I also think personal variance changes things a lot. For example, a top-third founder, I would say, would be twice as expensive as an average one.
