Join us in VR for a watch party and discussions! Featuring "Career Strategies & Building Aptitudes," a talk given by Habiba Islam of the Centre for Effective Altruism at EA Global: London 2021. What career strategy should you follow if you’re aiming for impact? Holden Karnofsky 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. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/bud2ssJLQ33pSemKH/my-current-impressions-on-career-choice-for-longtermists 

First we'll watch the talk then break out into discussions. The talk is about 25 minutes long. If you'd prefer to pre-watch this talk, you may do so here: https://youtu.be/k-PSL2n6OhI
