Is the linked website right about banking being the optimal career path for professional philanthropy or is there a more efficient method of moving resources to charities? I’m especially curious since I’ll choose my degree soon.
I’ve briefly tried to find a way to contact Shulman and failed. Is there a known way to contact him?
Possibly useful information: I would prefer an IRC session over Skype. I’ve already followed the posted link, googled his name, googled his name with the word contact, looked at eightythousand.org′ s contact page, and googled his name while restricting the search to eightythousand.org.
Thank you. I had assumed that Less Wrong had no private messaging when the envelope icon near the top right corner of the interface took me to the reply to my first comment.

You may wish to request a Skyped career counseling session from Carl Shulman, one of the experts behind High Impact Careers.

Have you used Less Wrong’s “Send message” functionality?
(Edit: It’s a button in the upper right corner of the page you get when you click someone’s username.)
