Career Conversations Week

Discussions about impact-oriented careers will be featured on the EA Forum this week (September 8 − 15, 2023) — it’s “Career Conversations Week.” This sequence kicks off the event and collects some classic posts on the topic.

If you want to explore posts written for the event, go to this tag (you can also subscribe by clicking on the bell icon).


A wide range of topics would fit the theme; consider writing about what you actually do in your job (and how you got there), sharing advice about how to choose a path, etc. (You can always write about these topics on the EA Forum, but if you want someone to provide extra encouragement — or if you want to post about it when others are talking about it, too — this event is your chance.)
