most of the most valuable roles (certainly in my ‘field’ but I suspect in many others, especially the more applied/concrete) will not be at ‘avowedly EA organisations’
do you have an example?
it seems wise to have a career plan which does not rely on securing such a role (or at least have a backup).
Agreed that I should have a backup. But why does it seem unwise? Based on what? Have you looked at the possible impact based on replaceability and displacement chains?
What else is there to do I don’t know, other than working in some form (researcher, program manager) in “orgs that do good”? I think I can ETG (in the US) but owing to my lack of citizenship there is a 50% chance (H1B and RFE issues) that I make it just considering just random factors. This is still my back up.
Although there’s a sense of ways one can build ‘EA street cred’ (or whatever), it’s not clear these forms of ‘EA career capital’ are best even for employment at avowedly EA organisations.
I am never going to be able to find what the best way to “EA CC” for EA orgs. Alternate being I look at examples. What do you suggest to do then and why?
Thanks for the suggestions.
