If I wanted to search for a position in a concrete problem field that would have an impact, I currently have a few choices:
- There is a list of websites here.
- There is the EA Job Postings website.
- There is EA Work Club.
However, is there a website that would aggregate these job postings, including ones that are not necessarily related to EA (e.g. work in the EU commission) and where you could search by a problem area as well as your impact on that area with your work?
Because if there isn’t one and nobody is working on one, I could create such a website. My idea is to have a crowd-sourced measure of impact for each position including quantitative and qualitative information. I would first scrape the web for existing job listings and others could add positions to our board as well. The positions could be dynamically sorted using the crowd-sourced estimates of (possibly negative) direct impact on each area and salary combined with how important each problem area and earning to give is to the board’s user.
I don't expect the impact analysis to be as good as what 80K aims for, but don't you think we could improve over the current situation?
For example, imagine someone disagrees with the 80K analysis of being a doctor or due to some combination of skills, contacts and location wants to earn to give as a doctor anyways. While it's hard to estimate a job's impact in general, on the job board, people could estimate impact relative to an average doctor. By default, the search would multiply this by 80K's overall low priority of medicine, b... (read more)
