Help me grow EA Kolkata.
Share my experience of transitioning from a prestige-driven career to impact-driven and building an EA Group in an LMIC.
I'd be doing less good with my life if I hadn't heard of effective altruism
I'd always say this - EA found me and I'm glad it did! This movement and global community has uplifted my perception. I've realised there's an infinite possibility that can be unlocked with the right kind of altruism.
I am sure the power dynamics can be overwhelming to cope with especially when you need a chance to prove yourself for the first time. I would like to learn how to keep being patient in the process until you find that one aligned funder. How did you manage to keep yourself patient till you found the right funder?
Hey thanks for this! I mean my community is focused on 'career driven altruism' and not 'donation driven altruism' cause I understand the per capita income in India is highly fragmented and mostly unfavorable. But judicious career decisions can change the scene. Income is directly proportional to Value generation I feel and hence choosing career that are valuable (above conventional ones) can ultimately make Indians 'earn to give' ready.
Voted! All the best!
