I'm amazed that noone has posted a link yet to the Existential Risk Reduction Career Network. Or maybe someone did and I haven't noticed.
Here's the description on the site's front page:
This network is for anyone interested in donating substantial amounts (relative to income) to non-profit organizations focused on the reduction of existential risk, such as SIAI, FHI, and the Lifeboat Foundation. For more information on existential risk, please see Nick Bostrom's original paper, or Wikipedia for a brief overview. We are a community of people assisting each other to increase our resources available for contribution. Members discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different careers, network, share advice on job applications and career advancement, assist others with finding interviews, and occasionally look for qualified individuals to hire from within the network. If you are interested in joining us, please see our page on requesting invitations for more information.
I'm a little confused about how the "career network" part syncs up with the "donating substantial amounts relative to income" bit. Are people helping each other find paid employment, or helping each other find grants, or what?
So far it's been only about people helping each other find paid employment, but helping each other find grants is also a good idea, thanks.
Wait, so, then what on earth does "for anyone interested in donating substantial amounts (relative to income) to non-profit organizations" mean? Do you help each other get jobs on Wall Street so you can donate the money?
That's the basic idea, yes.
Most people in the network are looking for jobs as programmers. The second most popular job category is finance.
Can someone confirm that this thing is actually operational?
Sure.
Damn, it seems I kind of forgot about the existence of this network. Better apply now...
