Nice to meet you :)
28 y/o from FL/CH living in DE
I had the opportunity to gain experience in a lot of different roles over the years. So if you’re up for a chat or might have interesting leads, please reach out. 🙂

This sounds like a great project, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to updates. :)
Fixed, thanks! Respect your approach, transparency is often underappreciated.
After checking the third entry I couldn’t help thinking of “You guys are getting paid?” meme :D
Interesting choice.*I couldn’t figure out how to add pictures to comments, sorry :(
Thanks for your comment. It seems the link you posted is not accessible without signing up for Notion, is that intended?
I’m aware there’s a push to disclose salaries outside EA, sometimes even by law. But since organizations in the EA community generally aren’t for profit, I would think there is less incentive and reason to hide salaries or prevent pay discussions.
I wasn’t aware of such dynamics, thank you for commenting. :)
I would be interested to know if you only have this problem for specific positions (and if so why those), since you say it’s generally disclosed? For more senior roles, where the maximum salary can be high or uncapped, I totally understand needing to be able to negotiate better.My main concern with this post was not even disclosing a minimum salary for the minimal viable candidate (e.g. junior roles) - which I’d think any organization knows up front when deciding to hire. Luckily many do list whole salary ranges or at least the base amount depending on location/seniority.
I’ve also seen 1 organization with a “no negotiation policy”. According to them it ensures fair pay across roles, but potentially also with benefits for the organization?
While I personally think your proposed solution sounds great, and is kind of what I meant in my post. But I didn’t want it to be specifically about 80k hours job board. They already do a great job helping job applicants with their limited resources and I didn’t want the post be criticism about their work (or centered around them in general). :)
But if there is somebody who is already in contact with them or other orgs like you, and can—with little additionally effort—push towards disclosing salaries, that’d be much appreciated.
It doesn’t seem feasible or effective for outsiders/applicants to request it. For example, one organization that mentioned it was accidentally missed in the description, still doesn’t disclose the salary 3 weeks later. So other than making this forum post I wasn’t sure what would be appropriate or useful to do from my side.
at least one EA org pays a salary over $1,000,000 and that’s not including equity.
Does this EA org publicly declare this salary, or is this a number you might know from private connections? Would love to see that job description and how they explain it.
I would think such a high number could turn around some people’s views and more strongly consider working at non-profits—such info should be better known.
Not sure if I can ask a question about this conference here: I’ve submitted my application for EAGxVirtual on 11-Sep-22 and haven’t gotten my status confirmed yet (1 month ago). A week ago the team told me via E-Mail that there was a high volume of applications to process, causing this delay. Since you write in the post that you would love to see more applications now, do you think it would be better to re-do mine?
Edit: Just got my registration email today (15-oct-22), looking forward to the conference. :)
