Thanks for the question! We've sourced the courses based on a mix of:

  • Soliciting recommendations from domain experts, mainly when asking for resource recommendations during research for other articles (like our career profiles).
  • Doing our own research to find courses that seemed to be particularly high-quality, reputable, coming from orgs that we think are likely to provide strong overviews, and/or especially relevant to impact-focused careers.

That said, we want to emphasize that these are the best courses we know of; we're certain there are many great courses we don't know about that should also be included on this list (please let us know if you know of any that you think could be relevant).

We'll see if we can make all this clearer in the article!

Yep, absolutely! You can refer them to our advising page.

Also, feel free to get in touch with us directly if you're interested in a workshop for your group too.

We’re also looking for an operations specialist to join our team! If you’re already in operations or are looking to pivot into this path, we’d love you to consider applying by July 27: https://probablygood.org/work-with-us/ 

The best advice we can give on this currently is to simply apply to both!

Currently, yes! Over time, it will depend on how many people apply, but for now we'd encourage all your participants to apply, and we're already looking into scaling our advising.

Also, in cases like this, where you're an organizer interested in career advising for your group, please get in touch to discuss (with Rocky, at advising@probablygood.org). We'd be happy to figure out the best way to set this up, and are also about to launch new career-advising workshops that we can run for your group.

Hi everyone!

We know there’s been a lot of uncertainty following 80K’s recent shift to focus more on AGI, and we really appreciate 80K’s thoughtfulness and transparency in communicating their decision.

Given this shift, we feel there’s an even greater need for principles-first, impact-focused career guidance, which is what we aim to provide.

In addition to this new series about how to get a job, we have a bunch more exciting updates in the pipeline, including new content, new services, and major improvements to what we already offer.

We’ll share these updates as they occur over the coming weeks and months, here and in our newsletter. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch!

ProbablyGood (although they seem to have paused advising for now)

Thanks for the mention! We're planning to relaunch and expand our advising services in around 2-3 weeks, alongside some other exciting changes in the near future, so please feel free to apply for advising and refer people who could benefit from it.

And, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to get in touch any time!

Just wanted to chime in and say we’d be happy to chat more about your specific situation and collaborate on finding impactful career options. Probably Good’s aim is to help more people make a difference within their unique circumstances. It totally makes sense to feel some uncertainty/discouragement, but as others have mentioned, you could be underselling yourself – especially since perceived ‘prestige’ doesn’t always correlate with how qualified you are. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out directly or apply for advising. We’d be happy to help!

Thanks Tom! We appreciate you testing this out to see what's causing the bug. Knowing that the order of sort + filtering is likely causing the issue should help us figure out how to resolve it. If you spot any other unintended behavior from the job board, definitely let us know.
