I think that it felt worthwhile making this point because an obvious response to your conclusion that “demand for jobs at professional EA organizations will continue to be very high” is to not worry if demand for these jobs drops. Or one could go further, and think that it would be good if demand dropped, given that there are costs to being an unsuccessful applicant. I appreciate that you’re agnostic on whether people should have that response, but I personally think it would be bad—in part due to the reasoning in my previous comment.
“I don’t think I’m assuming that.”
That’s fair—my bad.
