Now is the Time for Moonshots

I've shared this blog post with a few EA friends who are starting their careers, so I thought I'd share it here as well. 

It's the best piece I've found to convey this pulsating drive, the urgency of doing the most out of our weird upcoming AI future. 

I think a reality check is in order. You are probably not going to be a junior consultant for three years, then a senior consultant for two, then a managing partner for five, and finally a partner. That pyramid looks more like a tomb every day. This pathway exists because we need bright people to do repetitive work – and then we need them to lead others in doing so. Very soon, we won’t need you to do that.

If you’re young, bright, ambitious, and planning or beginning a traditional corporate career, I think you should consider pivoting today.
