Being aware of how little funding you received over the last two years I'm amazed at how much you've been able to do considering a big portion of your time had to go into fundraising and applying for grants. I think career 1-1s could be commercialized (offering both career advice for money & pro-bono impactful career advice), so that's an idea to consider.

Happy to see community projects becoming independent so you can go back to area building and meta-EA stuff.

EA Poland is very much still facing an existential risk

Right now they started a fundraiser for ~20k USD (see above). You can donate with PayPal / Visa / MasterCard (but reach out to them if you want to use something different, all is possible).

This is an impact-oriented career advising project but no one is sitting on their hands waiting for the funding. The team is trying to push it forward with all the free time and willpower that is left in them despite being denied funding one grant after another.

I nudged them to publish a linkpost, as the fundraiser has a description in english now and maybe some EAs from abroad would be willing to donate.

What were the main reasons for this decision?
Was this motivated by how much you could earn in a typical zero-impact tech job? I mean - would you still "quit trying to have direct impact" if your zero-impact tech job wouldn't leave you with much extra money to donate?

I don't understand why "Surely, You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman" is on the list. I haven't learned anything from this book aside from some trivia about Feynman's life and, honestly, I disliked it. 

Meta comment - is it only me or is there something off with the references (the numbers don't match and links don't work) and with the ToC (here 'This' and 'short post' got their sub points). But only the references are an issue worth fixing imo if others have the same.

As for the content - very interesting, I'm surprised I haven't heard about that before. I think this can be very good place for discussion that attracts people willing to do good and caring about their own causes whom we might convince to start thinking about effectiveness and expanding their moral circle. And would make EA more democratic. 

I'm eager now to try it out in Poland.

Thanks! Shouldn't write that in a hurry - that's why I didn't add Proficient English 😅

Yes, that too, but what I was thinking is that the votes on "whom to hire" could be used then (if you voted on the winning candidate) as shares of bonus paid out monthly.

Could you provide sources to the charts you added there? It'd be nice to take into account how up-to-date it is or what's the underlying data source when we'll be voting on them :) Also I'm thinking of redoing & sharing some of these in my language.
