As one data point, I first heard of EA only toward the end of my master’s degree. Before, I had a fairly different mindset regarding my career. It seems extremely obvious to me that it would have been very beneficial if I had heard of EA, and in particular 80K’s career advice, years earlier.
(Even though it might not be that obvious from the outside, e.g. I started an “EA job” immediately after I finished my master’s.)
I think that’s a good point worth highlighting.
