I graduated from the LSE in Political Science and Political Economy and now am a Research Fellow at Stanford King Center in Global Development.I might embark on a PhD but I am not sure which topic to choose from since I want to make sure it is useful for others—esp in the EA space in development. Additionally, a lot of my peers go to the World Bank (DIME) for instance, but does that lead to any impactful jobs? The pro is being surrounded with competent people but the con is you are in a bubble and can’t see right through the tangible help your doing for others. What would be a really good course of action ?
