Is the career consultation option still available? I was thinking of referring my group members to it.

100% agree

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.

Really liked the word 'unconference' ! Entire idea sounds very cool, especially this line: "Tired of pretending we’re dead serious 100% of the time?"

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?

This was so inspiring! Thank you Sofia. Two major takeaways for me was "don’t try to solve everything at once!" and “Never do what a funder tells you to do unless you think it’s the right thing to do.” I'll remember this:)
