Where would you look for an EA job applications support group?

An independent discord

I think this is a good idea, especially if the person managing the group is really good at community building and encouragement. I think this works better if it is a Slack or Discord, so that there can be multiple channels for multiple groups to be created, such as those based on causes or career path interests, or forming cohorts or accountability partners between people. I think the ideal would be groups of ~3-6 people encouraging each other and being transparent about their EA job applications. Those groups can then transition to Facebook or WhatsApp groups if they prefer that.

They could probably have one social call to meet each other and say where they plan on applying, then they could just catch up weekly via an update, and then they could have a call to catch up every month or two.

As part of another EA discord

Did you end up creating the Discord server? I tried to follow the invite link you posted here, but it didn't work. I would like to join if possible.

I think it's worthwhile, and lots of local groups do that already (like EA Berlin). 

Maybe local groups can do most of that as they have the benefit of people being able to meet in person (after corona) and sharing similar culture, job prospects etc, and then everyone who does not have a local group nearby can use EA Anywhere?
