Hey thanks for this post. I think this kind of perspective is really important and one I wish I would see more of in the EA community.
As you probably gathered from my post, I felt like the high impact jobs that are promoted feel out of reach to me—and I probably shouldn’t bother getting upset about this as there likely are people who are a better fit than me and would do a better job. I feel as though the idea of finding out on a more personal level how you can make the most impact should be promoted more in EA—I know that is what it’s about at its core, but it does get lost in all the info out there about being an AI alignment researcher or stopping the next pandemic.
