Updated December 1. It’s no longer in the top 10. It’s still a recommended, but not a top ranked, career.

@NicoDelon Hard to say for sure if that leaves it as a “top-recommended” path or not. The second list refers to the first list as “top-ranked”

It’s now a “Other high-impact career path”

predictedNO

@JimHays To me it’s clearly no. Austin referred to the top 10 below. It’s now out of the top 10. It’s literally not a top ranked or top recommended career.

@NicoDelon That comment below isn’t part of the resolution criteria, and doesn’t claim to be a clarification of the criteria either

Or at least, it’s only a confirmation about YES resolutions, it doesn’t say what would count as NO

predictedNO

@JimHays That’s an extremely misleading comment if so.

@NicoDelon I took it to mean that Austin thought because it was at the bottom of the list, that meant they might remove it from the page entirely

@JimHays Alright, selling some of my NO to de-risk, but I won’t be happy if this resolves YES (unless they update the list again).

They should seriously consider changing their name to 80k. It’s better.

Note that if this market were to resolve today, it would resolve to YES; however, its position as #10 might mean that it's very close to getting the axe?
