I’m a former coworker of Matt Wage, an effective altruist that was mentioned recently in the NYT (see http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/05/opinion/sunday/nicholas-kristof-the-trader-who-donates-half-his-pay.html). I wrote a piece you can see here http://www.modestinsights.com/?p=103 about EA and leaving wall street. Has the question of leaving a job where you are earning to give (or perhaps your coworkers are) ever received much discussion? I would be interested in any reactions.
