Some of these roles help tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems, while others help people build the career capital they might need to have a big impact later.<p>&gt; Visit our user guide &amp; FAQ to better understand why we list these roles and to learn about how to make the best use of this board. If you’re new to 80,000 Hours, read our key ideas series for our current take on how to think about careers that have a positive impact.

Like the idea, but I&#x27;m confused how companies like:<p>* Primer - Reach your leads everywhere<p>* Andium - Digitizing the Oil &amp; Gas Industry<p>fit into the &quot;problems like climate change and food insecurity&quot; bucket.

Good idea but it would be good to have a description &#x2F; intro text to the company and how they are contributing to saving the planet. Are the companies approved? For example this one on the landing page, I don&#x27;t understand how it fits: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sayprimer.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sayprimer.com&#x2F;</a>

The issue with this site is that someone in tech will inflate the ‘goodness’ of tech projects. I looked at a few companies and they’re hardly world changing. If your goal is doing good things you’d be far better off working at FAANG or investment banking and donating a % of your salary to proven effective organisations than bet on ‘digitising oil and gas’.<p>80,000 hours does this well <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;80000hours.org&#x2F;job-board&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;80000hours.org&#x2F;job-board&#x2F;</a>

The idea is good, but some other features are needed, like a description of the role and of the company, showing why they are a good fit for the goodjobs page. It could be interesting as well to be able to apply for the jobs directly from goodjobs instead of being send elsewhere, and why not having a bookmark feature to see where you already applied &#x2F; what positions or companies you&#x27;re interested in

How is this differentiated from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techjobsforgood.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techjobsforgood.com</a>

There&#x27;s a similar company <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodgigs.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodgigs.app&#x2F;</a> that does this as well, but more built-out (and seemingly more focused on non-technical roles).<p>Not sure your plans for this page, but could be an interesting conversation with that founder.

Is there any way I can submit a job to this?

Looks cool. Where do you source these jobs from? How do you make sure to update these frequently.

Problems like climate change and food insecurity are not technological problems at this point. They are political problems. The job board you want is the board that organizes people to demand political change.
