An introductory guide to policy careers

By Probably Good @ 2025-12-04T16:22 (+15)

Hi all, we’re excited to share a new guide on policy careers. Policy is often recommended as a high-impact career path (and for good reason!). But what policy careers look like in practice isn’t always clear from the outside. This article is an approachable introduction to the field that we hope makes policy careers a little less abstract. In it, we cover:

• The basic case for why policy careers are likely worth considering, including examples across cause areas.
• The various roles and organization types relevant for policy work.
• How geography and nationality may impact which areas of policy are most promising.
• Practical suggestions for testing your personal fit and getting into the field.

You can check out the full article here.

We’d also love to hear what you think about this guide, so if you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, please get in touch!
