Disproportionately many of the most agentic and entrepreneurial young EAs I know are community-builders. I think this is because a) EA community-building currently seems neglected compared to other cause areas, but b) there’s currently no standard community-building career pathway, so to work on it they had to invent their own jobs.
Hopefully the people I’m talking about changing the latter will lead to the resolution of the former.
