I’d also be interested in CLR’s view on funding and talent constraints. The post says:
This budget would allow us to hire more researchers
At the same time currently it seems there is a large interest of good candidates for at least the entry level opportunities. E.g. the 2023 summer fellowship:
We were surprised by the high number of good applications this year, meaning that competition was particularly strong.
So is talent constraint a main bottleneck right now and what are the expectations for the coming years? Also if the following rough guidline on Earning to Give on the CRS Career advice page seems appropriate:
we would recommend earning to give if you have the potential to make a lot of money (donating $200,000 per year or more, as a rough guideline)
Thanks for sharing all these details!

Thanks Péter! It’s difficult to give very general advice, but talent and funding are both important constraints for s-risk reduction right now. Donating on the order of $100k/​year can be very impactful given the current funding landscape, though there’s still a strong case for those who are well-suited to direct work do that instead.If you or anyone else is interested in discussing your particular situation we recommend registering interest in a career call.
