Applying to Redwood or Anthropic seems like a great idea. My understanding is that they’re both looking for aligned engineers and scientists and are both very aligned orgs. The worst case seems like they (1) say no or (2) don’t make an offer that’s enough for you to keep your lifestyle (whatever that means for you). In either case you haven’t lost much by applying, and you definitely don’t have to take a job that puts you in a precarious place financially.
