I wonder how valuable the training and talent selection effects are for the community. RP seems to think they are valuable, e.g. they targeted Metaculus forecasters specifically for their current hiring round. Maybe RP people can estimate how valuable legible forecasting experience and skill is to them?
Also, forecasting is a concrete and useful practice related to EA that anyone can do and skill up in. E.g. the EA forecasting tournament last year was a great shared experience for my local chapter (not only cause we won :P).

Good question; I am not sure what the answer would be.
