80k has made important contributions to our thinking about career choice, as seen e.g. in their work on replaceability, career capital, personal fit, and the ITN framework. This work does not assume a position on the neartermism vs. longtermism debate, so I think the author’s neartermist sympathies can’t fully explain or justify the omission.
Thanks pablo I completely agree with the amazing contributions and work thinking about all those important career related things.
Although like your say the work doesn’t assume a position, the current website and materials kind of do.
And if you take the snapshot in time now of 80k and send a more naive EA interested person to their website, you still get a longtermist bent feel even though I agree that’s not what’s behind it.
