Unsolicited advice-seeking (respond to all, some, or none, as your schedule and interests permit): Is being the “leader of a moderately successful student group” in itself a useful qualification for getting EA jobs? And if so, where do you find openings where it’s relevant? (I’m the leader of a moderately successful student group! :D) I just finished a bachelors in economics and my very preliminary search of EA-adjacent job postings has turned up a lot of opportunities for grad students, phd’s, or programmers, of which I am none. (Fwiw I might actuallybe overestimating my qualifications, given that I can’t code and my only significant paid job experience is tutoring.)
Did you ever write this? I’d love to read it.
