I don’t think this idea was mine originally, but it would go a long way just to have two pi charts: the current distribution of careers in EA, and the optimal distribution.
I actually don’t think that would help a ton, because 80K already prioritizes careers based on their perceived delta between supply and demand. The coordination problem comes because it can take years to generate additional supply, and 80K has only limited visibility into that supply as it’s being generated.
