I regret not donating more and not donating earlier. I have way too much savings, and my family is very supportive and would be happy to host me if I end up unable to pay rent.
I regret donating directly to GiveWellâs top charities instead of their âall grants fundâ (then Maximum Impact Fund). Especially since many of those charities have programs of varying cost-effectiveness.
Contradicting my first point, I regret donating to various random EA charities instead of focusing my donations on the most promising fund after a lot of research. I donât think I ever was at a scale where splitting made sense.
Lastly, I regret not networking more and earlier with EAs doing exciting stuff that might need some liquidity or fallback options, in case some promised small (<5000âŹ) grant doesnât work out or takes months. Or if they canât afford to pay for coaching/âcounseling.
