About Us
Probably Good is a nonprofit dedicated to helping people maximize the positive impact of their career. A lot of people want to do good with their career and have a meaningful impact but still need help to figure out the best path for them. We use evidence, analysis and expert opinion to help you find a career that works for you, and the rest of the world.
Founded in 2020, our current focus is on creating content that will be useful for a large number of readers, and collecting feedback to prioritize future work. We are currently in our early alpha stage: We are learning and improving our content. This means you can expect many changes in the near future and should look at all of our advice with a skeptical eye (even more so than you should for all advice).
Probably Good is part of the broader Effective Altruism community.
Our Principles
Probably Good is dedicated to helping you help others. Our core principles are:
-
Optimizing for Impact: We strive to use our limited time and resources to achieve as much impact as we can.
-
Worldview Diversification: We aim to provide information and advice that can be easily adapted according to your own values, priorities and views.
-
Experimental Approach: We regard everything we do as an experiment and would love to hear from you in order to improve.
