Effective Altruism doesn't restrict its influence to charity-picking. It also actively encourages the career strategy of "earning-to-give", particularly to students just entering university. Unlike allocating charity-dollars, that decision is not marginal but influences the lifetime of a person, and if universalized would significantly reduce the mindshare of people in industries that can make better use of existing wealth, vs industries that are income-producing for the individual. This is an irony that people from outside EA detect, that financiers which are drawn towards "earning-to-give" are still the lifeblood of institutions that play such an integral part in creating inequality and volatility.
