I would also like to see more 80K coaches. Possibly you can offer light coaching option, where people can have a 30-minute time slot to ask questions openly. I’ve had such valuable feedback when I’ve attended CFAR workshop, through which I’ve had the opportunity to talk to other EAs about positions I had in my mind. Through CFAR I’ve got to access to 1-on-1 sessions with Lynette Bye from EA Coaching, and she was also very helpful. All this expanded my EA circle and got me even more opportunities. I would undoubtedly reiterate 80K hours advice that attending conferences and joining the community can help immensely. But, before doing all that I wished I could have a couple of quick sessions with a coach from EA/80K. Also attending some of the events don’t come cheap, and they require a significant time commitment.
Just wanted to flag – I’ve been surprised and sad about how frequently people delete accounts on the EA forum. This is a totally reasonable comment and I’m confused about why the author would have deleted their account within 40 minutes of posting it (as seems to be the case as-of-the-time I write this)
