Show Notes

For many high impact opportunities, individuals have to spend decades developing their expertise and influence. In this talk, Jessica claims that building EA communities on university campuses may be an exception to this general principle. These opportunities provide outsized impact for individuals in their early twenties. In addition, she outlines career capital and personal development benefits of these roles, and provides advice for how an individual might know if they are a good fit.
