I care about making funding for high impact causes more robust & diversified. I'm based in the Bay Area, advise Asia-based community builders and run Pineapple Ops. I previously worked in consulting, recruiting and marketing, with a BA in Sociology and focused on social movements. (A little on my journey to EA)

Unless otherwise stated, I always write in a personal capacity.

Some posts I've written and particularly like: 

• The flow of funding in EA movement building
• Monetary and social incentives in longtermist careers
• Ideas from network science about EA community building
• The funnel or the individual: Two approaches to understanding EA engagement
• The availability bias in job hunting
• What comes after the intro fellowship?

Advice I frequently give:

• When in doubt, apply*
• What Ops in EA is like
• If you're running a retreat, nail the vibes and venue
• Add randomness to your conferences

I'm always keen to hear feedback: admonymous.co/vaidehiagarwalla
