My name is Gergő, and my academic background is in psychology. I’m the director at the European Network for AI Safety and founder of Amplify, a marketing agency dedicated to helping fieldbuilding projects. My journey into communitybuilding started in 2019 with organising EA meetups on a volunteer basis.
I started doing full-time paid work in CB in 2021, when I founded an EA club at my university (it wasn’t supposed to be full-time at least at the beginning, but you know how it is). This grew into a city group and eventually into a national group called EA Hungary. We also spun out an AIS group in 2022, which I’m still leading. AIS Hungary is one of the few AIS groups that have 2+ FTE working for them.
Previously I was a volunteer charity analyst and analysis coordinator for SoGive, an experience I think of fondly and I’m grateful for. I have also done some academic research in psychology.

Thanks for sharing!
This is great practice; however, I believe it happens only in a minority of cases. Typically, people who are filtered out early receive an email stating they can’t receive individual feedback. Given this, I recommend that if someone makes it far enough to be invited to an interview, ask for feedback at the end of the meeting before concluding. It’s better than sending an email after a decision has been made.
Alternatively, if you encounter the hiring manager at a conference, consider reaching out. However, if the interview was some time ago, don’t expect them to remember, as they’ve likely conducted hundreds since then.
