This year I am “donating” to my career transition. As I had an unfortunate gap between grants, I had to scramble to find temporary employment until the next batch of grant money comes in. This means I am now at a lower salary. With 2 kids and being the main breadwinner it means there isn’t that much left to donate and I do not want to put further strain on my young family by further reducing our expenditures. So in a sense, I have donated the difference between my pre-grant salary and my current salary to my own career transition and EA entrepreneurial activities, which I hope has a fair shot of reducing existential risk from bio.
That said, my family are super well off globally speaking and have all our basic needs covered and are enjoying a nice holiday together.
If you think this qualifies for putting a heart next to my profile, please react with a heart and if I get above let’s say 10 hearts I will click the banner (or let me know if I shouldn’t!).
