My hunch is that for people who are in the top 5% of EA researchers, most of the impact will flow from people building on your actual discoveries, or maybe from noticing how excellent your research is, whereas people who are below that might want to make more conscious efforts toward building institutional allies, working on journals, being politically engaged, et cetera.
