Hey Joseph, thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I’m having trouble joining the book club that you host; could you please help me? Moreover, I wanted to ask when you say that I may benefit from taking an online training bootcamp, is there something specific I should look out for, something in the project bit? Thanks again for your guidance! It means a lot :)
I’d ask a question here as well. I’m a budding EA, and well, I want to be an effective altruist one day, and I have been following the advice given so far: I am studying Economics and Philosophy; trying to explore various fields, etc. Coming from a fairly humble background, I don’t have the kind of personal connections that many of my peers rely on to secure internships or work opportunities. I’ve been applying to roles, especially in more quantitative or research-based areas, because I want to build relevant skills and gain hands-on experience. But often, I’m turned down due to my lack of experience — which I’m trying to gain in the first place.
So, if you’ve been involved in hiring for EA-aligned roles, I’d really appreciate your thoughts:
How can someone like me break out of this cycle — where I need experience to get opportunities, but need opportunities to gain experience?(I’m sorry if this sounds like I’m complaining, but this is rather the truth, honestly)
Hey, hi! I hope you are doing alright and not stressing too much about this. Definitely, cutting out eggs would be good, but is it affordable and accessible for you to go vegan gradually at the moment? If yes, do so. If not, take your time please :)

hey Frances, thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it and yes, I would keep that it in mind.
Hi, I applied for travel support for EA Global, London. I have to acquire visa ASAP and for that, I need to apply for it ASAP. However, I know that I won’t be able to travel if my fights and accomodation is not paid for. And I haven’t heard back from EA Global team about my travel suppport application status (it was separate this time instead of being part of the main application, right?). Should I apply for the visa right away assuming I would be provided travel support, or should I still wait to hear from EA Global team?

Hi, can students studying from other countries also apply for this? If yes, what charges and/or scholarships are entailed?
Hi, thanks for your reply. Is there a way you could share the assignment with me? I am unable to access the link anymore. It would really, really help me if you could. Thanks again for your response!
Hey, the application mentions “quantitaitve skills” a lot of times. Could someone please clarify what specific quantitative skills and how may a student like me gain them? For background, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Economics.
Thank you Joseph! I just messaged you a doubt :)
