One element in 80k’s definition of ETG that I like a lot is:
Work a job that’s higher earning than they would have otherwise
In my view, ETG is a career choice. If you choose to ETG, you choose to spend your time on acquiring money to donate and you choose not to do something else with that time.
You may choose to:
not volunteer or become politically active and spend your time on paid work instead
not take lower paid direct impact job
… and you donate (roughly) the difference in income. This can be a high amount or a low amount, depending on your circumstances.
