    I want the equivalent of EntityManager.Exists() that can be used inside job structs. What can I use?

    Pass a ComponentDataFromEntity<T> to the job and you can check ComponentDataFromEntity.Exists(entity) if you know that if the entity exists it should have component T.

    I don't think you can really know if the entity exists inside a job.
    There are other options depending on your use case.
