Hi, so I ended up getting contracted to do the work I wanted to by future impact group (semi-random networking not focused on getting hired) now Im working at prism/cdm as an early hire.
I applied for a grant to found an org but instead got a career transition fund instead (tbh it was for the best)
I did part of the above with the that career transition fund I got via longview
I believe Amsterdam has a very active community. I was a bit disappointed at first, but I think that was due to my unrealistic expectations. After returning to Turkey, I’m very glad that I did my exchange in Amsterdam, most of that gratitude comes from the wonderful community there. I'd be happy to give more details on my experience, send me DM if you'd like to!
Let’s create example trial tasks to strengthen EA hiring?
EA orgs use trial tasks quite a lot in hiring, which is great since candidates can demonstrate their skills, which is what truly matters regardless of their background. However, outside of EA, trial tasks are often quite different, and for the average candidate, it usually takes several rejections before they learn how to show their best in that setting.
It would be great if we had example trial tasks for different roles (research, operations, etc.) so that people could practice before applying to real jobs. This way, strong candidates would not get lost in the hiring process simply due to inexperience with trial tasks.
I was initially triggered when I saw the article, but I decided to read it with the intention of challenging my own views, and I’m very glad I did. Thank you for writing such a courageous post. I believe I agree with high majority of your points, and I’ll be more mindful about my supplementation and probably start incorporating bivalves into my diet. Once again, I truly appreciate your courage and good intentions in writing this piece.
Im unsure if consuming animal products in very little amounts would have harmful effects due to trans fats and heavy metals since they'll be so little in the body. At the end of the day we need to accept a trade-off and being conservative could make sense given how little we know about nutrition science.

Very exiting, thanks for all your work.

Jeff Bezos used to mandate an empty chair at Amazon meetings to represent the customer, and keep them as the focus in decision-making.
Maybe we can do something similar and add an empty chair at our meetings for impact to remind ourselves about it and keep our focus.

I liked the summary as an argument against the marker method, but found the title disconnected from the summary itself.
