• Holden Karnofsky on building aptitudes and kicking ass - 80,000 Hours

Summary

Notes

• Aptitude First Career Framework
  • Instead of getting a job that related to a particular cause area to work on or getting position that will set you up to get (X) position in 20 years, ask yourself: "What role will help you build a strong aptitude that can be applied to multiple areas?"
    • e.g. Organizing, Running, Building, and Boosting
      • Helping organizations hit their targets
      • Project management
      • Personnel management
• Career choice is not a well-posed question (e.g. instead of something like "what do AI timelines look like?"), so follow any career advice sparingly
  • 99% of the information lies with the person asking the career questions and the actual outcome is largely dependent on their own feelings
• Gaining career capital
  • "Join small things that are getting bigger"
  • Enthusiasm for the work is hugely important
• When to transition from skill building to direct work?
  • Are you still building your skills?
  • Are you still growing?
  • Do you see yourself staying in this area in the long-term?
