Career Stage: Our interest lies in assisting grantees who are at the beginning of their careers, are contemplating a career shift towards an area of higher impact, or have accumulated several years of experience in their respective fields.
I chatted with Caleb offline. To reiterate, we’re excited to support people with up to 3-10 years (inclusive) or more of relevant job experience. Some parts of the appendix are written as a compromise between LTFF and other parties at EV, so unfortunately their inclusion might end up seeming confusing to readers and/or the information value of those paragraphs may be lower than desirable.
We welcome everyone with projects relevant to LTFF’s mission to apply to LTFF.
I think Robi’s point still holds, because the statement in the post, “at the beginning of their careers, are contemplating a career shift [...], or have accumulated several years of experience,” arguably doesn’t include very senior people (i.e., people with many years of experience, where many > several).
Thanks!
I don’t know what this means:
That sounds like everyone.

Wait, “up to n or more” still means everything...
oh
It doesn’t include people who have accumulated many years of experience in their fields.
I think if someone has accumulated many years they have also accumulated several years.
[I’m being very pedantic here, sorry.]

Idk, maybe. (But LTFF funds John Wentworth, Alex Turner, Vanessa Kosoy, Rob Long, and so forth, not to mention orgs that employ experienced people...)
