One thing that I worry about when communicating on LinkedIn about EA affiliations is do-gooder derogation. Currently I am in a position where I don’t have to worry about that as much, but I can easily imagine that employers might feel they can make a lowball offer to someone who is “just going to give it to charity anyway” (versus spend it on private school or whatever). For this reason I set my EA group affiliations on LinkedIn to private.
Thanks for this thoughtful piece.
