Lots of different skills for lots of different careers:
In general, as you advance your career, management and sales skills are fairly useful and transferable.
Being experienced and expert in any domain is useful.
If you want to do EA research, then academic skills are handy.
In tech and research, programming looks useful.
If you care about tech and know some maths, then machine learning looks like a good and growing area.
That’s just off the top of my head.
What skills/experience do you think will be useful to have in 3-5 years, either in general or for EA plots?
