Thank you for sharing this, and congratulations on your new role! I am always glad to hear stories from fellow operations people. I would really like to hear more about your experience in the application process. I am also curious about your Notion database. Did you have labels for the stages you moved through (initial screening, tests, interviews, etc.)? What proportion of EA vs. non-EA jobs did you apply to? How do you keep your motivation after the rejections?
Last week, I wrote a post on finding a job in operations in EA, and I am collecting data points on how EA ops hiring actually works in practice. I would be happy to exchange ideas on how to improve this search for both candidates and orgs.
