Career Conversations Week ran from July 21–27 on the EA Forum. It’s a themed week encouraging career-related posts and quick takes, with a focus on sharing hard-to-access knowledge, advice, and reflections on impactful career paths.
The week featured:
A pinned AMA post with career advisors available to answer questions
Prompts for posts from people at all stages — whether you’re writing about your job, early career decisions, or long-term career reflections
Opportunities to debate, ask questions, or share career advice
Optional co-writing sessions and encouragement for EA groups to participate
This wasn’t a job fair—it’s a chance to make career thinking more legible and collaborative. If you’ve ever wondered what a grantmaker actually does, what post-university paths in AI safety look like, or how to break into nonprofit entrepreneurship, this is the week to ask or answer.
