The best advice we can give on this currently is to simply apply to both!

Currently, yes! Over time, it will depend on how many people apply, but for now we'd encourage all your participants to apply, and we're already looking into scaling our advising.

Also, in cases like this, where you're an organizer interested in career advising for your group, please get in touch to discuss (with Rocky, at advising@probablygood.org). We'd be happy to figure out the best way to set this up, and are also about to launch new career-advising workshops that we can run for your group.

Hi everyone!

We know there’s been a lot of uncertainty following 80K’s recent shift to focus more on AGI, and we really appreciate 80K’s thoughtfulness and transparency in communicating their decision.

Given this shift, we feel there’s an even greater need for principles-first, impact-focused career guidance, which is what we aim to provide.

In addition to this new series about how to get a job, we have a bunch more exciting updates in the pipeline, including new content, new services, and major improvements to what we already offer.

We’ll share these updates as they occur over the coming weeks and months, here and in our newsletter. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch!

ProbablyGood (although they seem to have paused advising for now)

Thanks for the mention! We're planning to relaunch and expand our advising services in around 2-3 weeks, alongside some other exciting changes in the near future, so please feel free to apply for advising and refer people who could benefit from it.

And, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to get in touch any time!

Just wanted to chime in and say we’d be happy to chat more about your specific situation and collaborate on finding impactful career options. Probably Good’s aim is to help more people make a difference within their unique circumstances. It totally makes sense to feel some uncertainty/discouragement, but as others have mentioned, you could be underselling yourself – especially since perceived ‘prestige’ doesn’t always correlate with how qualified you are. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out directly or apply for advising. We’d be happy to help!

Thanks Tom! We appreciate you testing this out to see what's causing the bug. Knowing that the order of sort + filtering is likely causing the issue should help us figure out how to resolve it. If you spot any other unintended behavior from the job board, definitely let us know. 

Hey Tom, thanks for providing a screenshot and a description of how it occurred. We extensively tested the filters and sorting feature in combination with each other and this bug didn't show in our testing. 

I just attempted to reproduce it and this appears to be a bug for specific edge cases—and even then only rarely occurs when those conditions are met (and can then be fixed by selecting 'Newest' again). 

If this is occurring for you more frequently, every time you select a combination of filters, doesn't change when you click 'Newest'—or anything like that—I'd really appreciate more details to help us address the problem. 

In any case, thanks for letting us know about this. This has been added to our list of updates, fixes, and other changes we'd like to make to future iterations of the job board.  

Hi Tom, 

Thanks for the comment! 

As for sorting, by 'Newest' we mean 'most recently added to the board.' I just used the sorting feature and when set to 'Newest' it correctly orders the jobs that were most recently added first (i.e. jobs added May 10, then May 9, then May 8, and so on). If this is confusing, can you tell us what you expected/what you would change? 

As for locations you can filter by, most of the filters automatically update depending on what jobs are currently listed on the board. That means if there are no in jobs in a certain country or city when you're viewing the board, you won't see the filter for that location, so you won't be able to filter for a location that doesn't currently have any jobs on the board. 

If you know of impactful orgs you think we should watch for jobs in your location, we'd be happy to hear your suggestions. 

Currently we aren't able to send job alerts for the board, but it's a feature we'll definitely explore adding in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
