“Career networking” feels like it encompasses some useful stuff, like hearing about new opportunities, meeting potential co-founders, etc.
It also sounds like it encompasses some bad stuff, like a race to get the most connections and impressing people.
We’re going to try and have some of the useful kind of career networking, and to push hard against the strong pressures towards the bad kind of career networking.
There also aren’t that many careers out there just waiting for an employee to come slot into a well-defined role that actually makes progress on preventing x-risk or similar, so we’re much more excited about helping people carve out their own path, not in connecting them to to employers running hiring rounds.
Is there going to be a digital option?
Unfortunately we’re not going to be able to accommodate that. It’s fully in-person, since a large part of the point is in-person interactions.
