It depends on your skillset. My impression is that EA is not really talent constrained, with regards to the talents I currently have. So I would have a bit to offer on the margins, but that’s all. I also just don’t think I’m nearly as productive when working on a specific set of goals, so there’s some tradeoff there. I’m interested in doing RSP one day, and might apply in the future. In theory I think the Vox Future Perfect role could be super high impact.
I probably should.
The short answer is that it’s an irreversible decision, so I’m being overly cautious. But mostly it’s aesthetic: I like Ender’s Game, Death Note, etc.
Thanks for this—one of my favourite blogs!
Few questions (not all directly related to the job, so feel free to skip all/any of them):
How do you think blogging compares to other careers available to you in terms of impact?
Why not set up a Patreon (I’m aware you’ve got some grants)?
Why remain pseudonymous?
Why the name ADS?
