The two seem to serve different purposes. I experienced some frustration with 80,000 Hours because I really just wanted to see numerical salary distributions but got lots of words and blog posts instead. I could have set up an advising session, but it felt 1) Cumbersome because I’d need to set up an appt, follow up, etc. and 2) Awkward because I wouldn’t trust their judgments to a great extant; they hadn’t provided sufficient evidence of their expertise for me to trust their opinions, but I would have trusted them to accurately report data that they had compiled.
There’s also Cognito Mentoring, a project Jonah Sinick and Vipul Naik worked on for a while, plus its associated wiki. You can read about why they chose to move on from the project. One idea would be to revive their project and fill gaps in their existing knowledge base with cool tools like this one.
Are you familiar with 80,000 Hours, which provides career guidance with an emphasis on earning power?

Edited to remove word salad.
I haven’t heard of them before but that looks like good stuff.
