With this upgrade, I feel significantly more comfortable referring the site to professionals getting started in AI safety. Great work!

Here's a LI post series:

When hiring teams delay decisions for weeks or reject without feedback, they aren't just reducing their chances of hiring their #1 – they're increasing the likelihood that their #5, #6, or #7 give up on working in the space at all. 

I've advised ~hundreds of jobseekers trying to enter similar roles, and can vouch for this author as being both highly capable and, unfortunately, dead on. This is a collective cost paid by both the candidates and the ecosystem, which 1) loses bright people and 2) takes a hit to the broader reputation.

Under very difficult constraints – which many hiring teams are – it still may be that delaying or denying feedback is the right call. But it's costly, and I'm sorry @AnotherEAJobSeeker that you've been put in this situation multiple times. 

 

JD from Christians for Impact has recently been posting about the downside risks of unsuccessful pivots, which reminded me of this post. Thank you for taking the effort to write this up; I've shared it with advisors in my network.

Voted! Good luck, guys!

Initially read this as “remember, there are six or more birds,” which I’ll never forget again. A+.

Just commenting to say I’m independently aware of this lawsuit and find it really promising, and would recommend funders take a closer look and see if it’s a good opportunity for them.

Would love to see more topical reading lists on the Forum.
