Initially, I looked into this because I was—and still am—a bit shocked about salaries in organizations within Effective Altruism. Ultimately, however, I think that my scarcity intuitions are leading me astray: as the people around me and I rise in formidability, we become more akin to institutions, and salary and consumption spending start to become less closely tied together.
