Career. About Us. 80,000 Hours was founded in October 2011 to help people like you use the 80,000 hours you’ve got in your career to make a difference: we provide life-changing one-on-one career coaching to exceptional individuals, produce in-depth research on the careers that do the most to solve the world’s most pressing problems, and have a global community of like-minded world-changers.
We want to change the world. And we think the best way to do that is to help you change the world. Many people want to make a difference with their careers, but they don’t have enough information about the social impact of their different options. Is it better for the world to become a researcher or to work in start-ups? Is it better to work in global health charities or education charities?
