I have not seen any extended discussion of it, but I know of individuals in this position (ie considering leaving jobs where they are earning to give) and I’m sure Benjamin Todd, the executive director of 80,000 Hours, will be aware of other examples. Obviously, career decisions are intensely personal, so I don’t think either of us can say much publicly about any such individuals.
I think exploration of leaving earning to give jobs is a (small) gap in Effective Altruist discussion at the moment—but then we’re only less than four years past the point when 80,000 hours was founded! Perhaps more writing on the topic will appear in the coming few months and years.
