Hi all! I'm a soon-to-be college grad and effective altruist of ~2.5 years, and I was hoping I could get some advice on a job offer I've received.

​

I'll be graduating from college in May with two bachelors in electrical and computer engineering. I have a good GPA, and I'm in the process of applying to grad schools, but I've also received a somewhat enticing job offer. I got an offer from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. It's definitely a good offer in terms of salary and retirement benefits, but they also have great continuing education benefits, so I could get a masters/PhD while working without paying a dime.

​

Normally, I'd accept this offer in a heartbeat because it's a cool place, good benefits, and I could get my graduate degrees from a good university, but I'm conflicted because I want to have an effective career, but the APL almost exclusively does Department of Defense related work. I wouldn't be building a missile or anything directly, but my job would be related to communications for military applications. I've expressed my concern to a couple of members of the hiring group, and they've told me that they don't feel like the work is unethical and also that much of what they do is geared toward preventing war (but of course they would say that). I've also been told that there's room for moving from one project to another, but I don't think there's really any way I'd be able to avoid work related to the military. At best, it seems like I would be able to work on defensive rather than offensive projects.

​

I'm really torn here because this work seems somewhat contrary to the values I hold, but at the same time it seems like really interesting work and a good way to jump start my career. I've seen pictures of the inside of the lab I would be working in, and there's definitely a lot of cool equipment and it seems like a great place to learn. Also, I'd likely be able to work with AI in regards to signal processing while I purse a masters/PhD related to AI. I don't know what to do at this point, but I'm supposed to deliver an answer soon. What do you guys think? Is this work inherently unethical? Am I wrong if I want to accept the offer to allow me to get a degree while making actual money? I'd really appreciate solid yes or no answers from people who care about doing good in the world because that's what I'd like to do too. Thanks for reading this far :)

So I am from India, just completed my bachelor's in Psychology.

My interest in Psychology arises from me having Borderline Personality Disorder, and facing a lot of difficulties not just due to the disorder but also because of the stigma.

And that's why I want to build my career and dedicate it to mental health awareness, and as a person who has contemplated long and hard about the best way to help people, I find EA movement to be how I want to work.

Effective altruism is a way of living , a selfless way in which every decision is based on logic and not just emotions.

I realise the ironic nature of me saying that, having associated with mental health field due to the stigma I faced and due to my emotional ties with it, but it is what it is.

My question is- can anyone here please help me get a fellowship or job or so with the EA organisations remotely (I am pursuing my masters at the time)?

I want to further my research skills , and really really want to use it to the maximum benefit of the society.

Great opportunity to impact AI policy!

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience is hiring for an AI Policy Advisor. The role would work closely with their Head of AI Policy, Jess Whittlestone, to develop and advocate for their AI policy recommendations over the coming years.

Application Deadline: April 2nd

Do meta-charities like GiveWell provide any ranking on how the most effective charities stack up against each other? Are we supposed to try and do that analysis ourselves and give all our money to just the absolute most effective charity, or should we just divide our money between effective charities (and if so, how?) and then use that extra time to be more productive elsewhere?

High Impact Professionals (HIP) has launched a Talent Directory to assist those looking to transition to a higher impact role at an EA-aligned organization. The directory will increase the visibility of your profile as, with your consent, it will be proactively shared with organizations and shared publicly on HIP’s website.

If you are looking to transition your career to higher impact opportunities, please sign up to HIP's Talent Directory to ensure you are in front of organizations looking to make a hire.
