---
What career strategy should you follow if you’re aiming for impact? Holden Karnofsky recently wrote up his perspective on career choice for longtermists on the EA forum - focusing on building aptitudes. Habiba will run through that framework and highlight some things she personally thinks are useful and some reservations she has.

EVENT FORMAT:
After a <5min introduction, the featured talk and/or Q&A (15-40min) will be shown over Zoom. Afterward, attendees will be divided into a series of rotating small discussion groups to chat about the session content. Optional discussion prompts will be provided to keep the conversation flowing.

Open to -- Everyone! Though certain talks may be more "advanced" than others, Talk Tuesdays are geared towards a general audience who are eager to explore EA-related topics with an open mind.
