Have you looked at 80,000 hours? They have a lot of great resources for people in exactly your situation, including individual advice. I've found a lot of their posts extremely useful. (I'm currently earning to give, largely as a result of arguments I ran into here on LW. I'd be happy to talk in more depth, if you think it would be useful.)
