Feelings of scarcity are bad for people on many levels that affect impact. It makes them more stressed out and less moral, especially when morality involves challenging the people who pay them.
Except at the very top, EA jobs are much less stable. Government and academic positions are bad comparisons because those come with a lot of security.
EA salaries are generally well above critical thresholds of scarcity, aren’t they?
I take the point about less stability. That would lead me to think that EA ought to move away from “contractor” contracts, not necessarily to try to compensate for instability with salary.
