How others can help me
I'm looking for opportunities in direct work. I'm mostly interested in animal welfare but I think my skillset is quite well-suited to e.g. AI Safety, so I'm open to working there.
How I can help others
I work in software consulting, which seems to be a common path for early-career earning to give. I'm happy to chat about it if anyone wants to know if it's right for them, and how they might get started.

Some of the difference in votes vs. personal donations comes from the tax deductible status of donations. Donations to (for example) Arthropoda are only tax-deductible in the USA, meaning that many potential donors living in other countries might donate elsewhere. In a donor lottery this is no longer a concern.
Other factors like currency conversion fees when donating to charities that only take donations in dollars may have similar effects.
I no longer endorse this post, which argued that honey is basically fine to eat ethically, to the degree that I chose to delete it entirely.
