I work 0.75 FTE as a Group Support Contractor at the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA). I also am a co-founder and advisor of EA Philippines. I was on a community building grant from CEA to work full-time on EA Philippines in 2021. I was formerly a Senior Product Designer at First Circle, a FinTech company in Manila.

Great, thanks!
Thanks for doing this! I think it’s worth specifying though in the post and in the website that the website does not include full-time positions.
Saying “we include a wide range of non-full-time positions” doesn’t convey that you don’t include full-time positions, and people might wonder why full-time positions aren’t here. I think it was clearer that it didn’t include full-time positions when it was called the EA Internships Board.
It’s great that CFAR is running workshops again. I’ve heard great things about them and would like to join one in the future (though I probably will not join these ones in Prague).
I just want to ask why the info above isn’t reflected on the CFAR website yet? When will it be reflected there if ever? I think it would help increase the legitimacy and appeal of these workshops, rather than having people go to a Forum post with no photos.
I agree that student groups should prioritize succession planning, so thanks for writing this! Just want to note for readers of this post that the EA Groups Resource Centre has this resource on Handing Over Leadership. It could use some updating (such as linking to this post), which we’ll probably do over the next few weeks, but I think it has helpful information and resources on how to go about succession planning.
Thanks for sharing the database links Luke! I wasn’t aware FTX had that, but it definitely makes sense that they do.
Interesting, I wasn’t familiar with this connotation (even if I watch quite a few sports).
To me the name Asterisk is decent, but yeah it might not be a good one if it would be confused with other search results or journals/magazines, like asteriskjournal.org as noted by Azure here
Cool project! Could I ask why it’s called Asterisk?
Thanks for this post! Just pointing out that the links in footnotes 3 and 4 seem to all be not working
Edit: They were working, just had to do a captcha

I suggest you change the title to say 80K advising rather than consulting, since that’s what they refer to it as. I was wondering if 80K launched a new consulting service!
Cool program! One question on this:
We’ve already invited a first cohort of 21 regrantors to test the program.
Will you be announcing who these regrantors are, and when will that happen if so?
Thanks for the info! Yeah intensities of workouts matter too.
Interesting! How often and for how many hours per week do you work out now in VR (and how many hrs not in VR per week now)? And how often and for how many hours did you work out per week before?
I like the Sankey diagram too—what did you use to make it Yi-Yang?
The title should say February 2022 instead of 2021! :)
I’m happy this exists and I like the logo!
