Paths to impact for EA working professionals

Abstract

This article explores diverse pathways to influence attainable by effective altruists working within the private sector, recognizing that many will pursue non-EA careers.

The paper advocates for acknowledging the significance of community building and the journey toward maximizing impact, rather than expecting immediate, optimal results. It concludes with an invitation for those interested in increasing their impact in the private sector to reach out for support. – AI-generated abstract.
