Currently exploring new projects. I'm a generalist builder with startup, product and ops experience. I've done a bit of EA community building and am keen to improve talent pipelines for people working on the most important problems. (A little on my journey to EA)
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
