While we do typically speak to people only once, as we find that we can help most with those initial conversations, it’s certainly not a hard rule, and some of the most valuable seeming calls I’ve had so far have been with people who spoke to 80k a few years ago. I think Caleb was describing a good heuristic—if your circumstances/plans change significantly, meaning that you’re facing a different decision to when we first spoke, it’s fairly likely to be useful to speak again.
In general, I think that if you think a call would be useful for you right now, it would be a mistake not to apply because of fear of losing your ‘shot’.
