Thanks for sharing your perspective. FWIW, it somewhat resonates with me, even though I said I think I’d have benefitted from hearing about the orthodox EA perspective on career planning much earlier.
I think the two things are consistent roughly because in my specific case I think most of the benefits would have come from “becoming more agenty” in a quite generic sense as well as correcting some misconceptions I used to have (e.g. roughly “only people who care about getting rich or success by conventional standards think about their ‘careers’, I just want to do maths”).
