Hi Björn, I agree that intensive farming should be mitigated. I think every dollar in the movement should be spent on advancing cultivated meat as that's the most likely and effective solution. 

I say this because there's a lot of betting on potential vs real world outcomes. But if the potential would occur, then Gyarados. 

Thanks David, I truly hope so. I think cultivated meat is more or less the solution to factory farming and its path to being on supermarket shelves should be the primary focus of animal advocacy orgs. 

That would be my motivation, yes. It's a valid strategy.

I'm perceiving an increase in the amount of content coming out lately saying something like 'are you burned out with the job search in a field that we presented as being totally realistic and strongly encouraged you to commit to even if you didn't meet the criteria? Don't worry! Get a job elsewhere and donate to our movement instead.' That seems like a glossing over of the question of why so many resources are spent on accelerators/programs for 'helping you land a high impact career' given the current state of over-saturation. EA is supposed to be about the effective use of resources; it doesn't add up to me. 

Good luck with your search and series anyway. 

Magikarp. 

Hi Ollie, how many applicants have you had so far? 

Hi Dave, thanks for posting this. 

... and that's all I'm saying about it. 

Hey Rishi, thank you so much for your kind feedback! That's certainly a more charitable way of looking at things, isn't it? Still no luck yet, so I'm self-teaching a bit of app development and Python whilst I 'wait'. Are we connected on LinkedIn? 

Yes, please share your perspective, here or there! 

Of course! What someone brings to the role in the here and now should be about 90% of the consideration, with the remaining 10% for track record, only insofar as it demonstrates mission-alignment/commitment. 

Nobody's entitled to a job just because they've been trying for a long time. I hope I haven't accidentally implied otherwise (gulp). I mention the maternity thing in response to your point about longer timeline --> more choosiness, which flies in the face of the traditional advice re: 'don't let there be a gap in your CV.' 

I'll have a read shortly, thanks.
