My name is Wes. I’m currently figuring out career stuff/life plans. I’m relatively new to the EA (I started interacting with it July 12, 2023)
How others can help me
Sometimes, I might ask for help woth research, also, if you know any good internship roles, please reach out!
How I can help others
I’m pretty good with numbers(understatement), so if you have any questions about it, I’m happy to help!
I’m also quite passionate (though 80,000 hours points out that there are more pressing & tractable matters) about ageism/rights of youth, so if you have any questions about that, I can help with that too.

Maybe reach out to new institutions, possibly via Linkedin, even if they don't have job opportunity listings, as they might find that it would take too long to make those listings, are too busy, or might not have listed them for other reasons. It also likely heavily reduces competition.
