I think this is a good example of how career advice is mainly about funneling people to thinks that currently exist and are sufficiently scaled to take new people, but often the best thing to do is go to something that does not exist yet. Similarly, it’s not a good idea to plan a career ten years into the future, especially when you are young, because things change too fast in hard to predict ways.
Yes, this!! I would be very interested in talking to more people who are preparing themselves (building career capital, for example) for a project that doesn’t exist yet. If this is you (or has been you in the past), please send me a message! There’s a lot more uncertainty in a path like this, but I think more people doing it really raises the bar for what can be possible for EA to accomplish.
