💭 Similar to the phrase “you always communicate, even if you say nothing” – you also always decide what to work on. Here’s my take on possible impact optimisation approaches. You can work for:
- Organisations with “bad impact” (e.g. Coca-Cola) and donate nothing.
- Organisations with “bad impact” and donate some spare money to any charity (e.g. World Food Programme) Have a meal
- Organisations with “bad impact” and donate some spare money to the rationally most effective organisations (e.g. Against Malaria Foundation) Don’t be sick
- Organisations with relatively neutral impact (e.g. working at the local water supply company)
- Organisations having any good impact (e.g. ReCup that spreads reusable packaging). Search for them on specific impact job boards like goodgigs and see what you get.
- Organisations which products and services you use yourself and which have some sort of good impact (e.g. Tomorrow Bank that I use which invests money in altruistic projects).
- Organisations which products and services you (would) use yourself and which fulfils your core needs better Physical and psychological health
- Organisations that are “rationally most impactful” Don’t die

I chewed on these different impact optimisation approaches in my mind for a while. More coming soon-ish.
