Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New core career advice series from Probably Good!, published by Probably Good on April 25, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
We recently published a new core career advice series. It provides a concise, accessible intro to some of the most important ideas for planning an impactful career. Check it out on our site!
What is the core advice series?
The core advice series distills the most important ideas from our in-depth career guide and repackages them with a more accessible framing. It was born out of the question: "If I have less than an hour to learn about pursuing an impact-focused career, what do I need to know?"
We ended up with a series of 7 short articles that could be read in one sitting. Each article takes about 5 minutes to read and covers a critical concept we think is important to pursuing an impactful career, including:
Taking a scale-sensitive approach to helping others
Comparing and assessing specific job opportunities
Prioritizing and exploring important causes
While many of our readers want to engage with our more in-depth material, we also want to provide an option for those who can't afford the time. This series is intended to be a helpful on-ramp for someone who wants to make a positive impact but hasn't been exposed to tools to think about their career decisions strategically.
How you can help
If you know someone who could benefit from accessible, impact-focused career advice, please share this with them!
As always, if you have feedback, thoughts on future content, or questions about how Probably Good could support you, your organization, or your community, feel free to
get in touch.
