What are the most feasible or related EA career options to consider for a person who has spent their career so far doing sales and business development, mostly for software products and services?
* +1 to growing the professionals community! One slight issue might be if there aren't obvious jobs/paths for people to take, if they are looking to do career changes vs just earning to give, so maybe also figuring out what promising things there are could be useful!
* Awareness raising/Fundraising for EA-aligned organisations (e.g. Directory of Philanthropy/Gifts Officer)
* Animal Advocacy Careers has a skills profile which may be helpful (and talking to people to figure out how transferable the skills are)
* Working on improving EA messaging/communication in general
* Earning to give
But for your career in particular, I think it really depends on if you have a strong cause preference, because the bottlenecks for each cause are pretty different.
