This is super interesting, thank you for posting. A minor feedback I have is that some of the graphics the post has are hard to read, due to the letters being too small. I'm not sure if you can make the pictures bigger within the post, but if not, it might be nice if you could share a link under the picture that would take the user somewhere where it can be viewed more easily. (Personally I just used zoomed in in my browser which was also low effort but I'm not sure if everyone will do that)
Thanks for sharing these updates!
A minor feedback I would give is that at least to me, the title gives the impression that this post is only about payouts that happened in March 2024. While this is clarified at the very beginning, I think something like the full duration, or the no. of months could be mentioned in the title, as this will be relevant for people who are deciding on whether to click on the post or not.
This sounds really amazing, thanks for creating such a service. I would love to apply and take part, but with my current workload, I feel I wouldn't be able to 4-6 hours per week to the program and I suspect many others are in a similar situation.
Do you think it would be possible to share the materials/exercises for those who would be interested in doing the program at their own pace, asynchronously, kind of like it was a workbook? (I realize sharing it would probably be not this straightforward as it was developed for groups, but I thought I would ask:) )
EA Hungary Head of Communications/Operations, early 2024
We are currently looking for highly motivated individual to join the team of EA Hungary. In this form you can apply for the position. Please make sure to read the full description before applying.
Selection process: We expect to have 2 or 3 rounds. First round being this application form. Applicants continuning to the next stage will have one or two additional interviews/work tasks.
Salary: 9-12 USD per hour (pre-tax). For exceptional candidates we might be able to offer a higher rate up to an additional 1-10 USD per hour.
(Income tax in Hungary for people under 25 is 0%, above is 33%. For students above 25 years old it is 15%, but you will have to double-check this with your accountant.)
Workload: This is a part-time position. We expect to make an offer for between 15 to 30 hours per week. If our courses get an exceptionally high application rate, we might be able to offer additional hours.
A full time role has 25 days per year of paid vacation, accordingly a part time position would have between ~9 to ~19 days of paid vacation per year.
Contract period: Starting around early March, you'd have a contract for 6 months with a 2 month-long trial period after which your performance will be evaluated. Around month 4-5, we will evaluate your progress again, based on which we can offer you a contract for an additional 6 months.
More about this role:
EA Hungary is currently run by its founder, Gergő Gáspár, and its current Head of Operations, Milán Alexy, as well as a number of committed volunteers. We are looking for an additional person to the team and would be happy to tailor the role towards their strengths, hence the possibility of joining either as an operations or communications person.
Example tasks for the operations role:
- Preparing and running meetups and events
- Coordinating our fellowships (e.g., evaluating applications, sorting people into groups based on their availability, supporting our mentors, booking and preparing venues with food and reading materials, etc.)
Example tasks for the communications role:
- Communicating with our partners via email/calls
- Marketing our programs (e.g., marketing on social media, reaching out to professors and academic dormitories, giving a short "pitch" of our program to university classes, tabling, distributing leaflets, etc.)
- Writing newsletters
- Public speaking (desirable but not essential)
Additional example tasks for both roles:
- Giving career advice
- Facilitating fellowships
- Supporting volunteers
We expect to see some additional overlap between the two roles as our organisation evolves.
An ideal candidate:
- Is passionate about making the world a better place using EA principles
- Has a good understanding of EA concepts (at least equivalent to having done the at-home reading version of the introductory course and the in-depth course)
- Knowledgeable about the main EA cause areas and the organisations working on them
- Has great attention to detail, has good interpersonal skills
More about this role:
You will be working closely with EA Hungary founder Gergő Gáspár and other members of the team. We expect that about 50-60% of your work hours will be "on-site" (either holding sessions or coworking with team members), with the rest of your work hours being possible to do online. The first 2 weeks of onboarding will be 100% in-person.
Location: Budapest, Hungary.
Deadline to apply: 2024. February 12.
Apply here!

As many other orgs, EAIF seemed to have had a lot of trouble post-ftx. It's really nice to see how things are getting better and more stable, and that you guys are able to increase your capacity. Thank your for your work in supporting the EA community! :)
