High-Impact Careers

Most of us will spend around 80,000 hours on our careers. If we want to do a lot of good, we could consider using this time to work on issues that we think are important. It can be difficult to work out which issues are most pressing, which roles will have a high impact and what you will be a good fit for.

The organisation 80,000 Hours is here to help. They provide plenty of resources about how to improve or maximise the positive impact your career will have on the world. They also give practical tips such as how to seek pay raises, whether or not you should move to an industry hub, and how you should consider happiness in your career.
