Thanks for the AMA! My question has already been asked to some extent, but I wanted to phrase it a different way which gets closer to the circumstances people earning to give in software engineering might face.

Suppose that there was a dire need for people trained as quants doing direct work for some important EA cause area, or at least correlated enough that you would be close to as productive doing the direct work as quant work (controlling for who your colleagues are, difficulty of problem etc).

My question is, what is the minimum salary you would need to be offered for the direct work where you feel like the switch would be worth it?

Additionally, how would you navigate the trade-offs if the direct work was something high risk like founding a startup or non-profit?

I really like this video, it made my day!

As someone who is trying to organize a local EAGx Virtual "co-attending" session, I would be curious to hear any tips on how to emulate the in-person conference experience as much as possible. 

Currently, we have two rooms booked at my university, with the idea of one being used for livestreaming events/group activities and the other for 1:1's / individual reflection etc. Having a shared time for lunch and some preplanned group activities seems important, as well as helping keep track of what events are happening, and allowing for in-person 1:1's. 

With that in mind, what things would you prioritize in making the experience as close to an in-person conference?
