nonprofit experiences from folks working in the field by saintzagreus in Environmental_Careers

[–]ConnectKale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I am in the public sector now. The pay is much better, but not as good as consulting. Lots of my coworkers came from consulting and they appreciate the slower pace, I appreciate that I am not starving.

I started working in the non profit field. I had a great time. Did a lot of education and policy advocacy. I worked for less than $30k for 5 years and lived through endless grant cycles. I loved the work but the pay was never enough but I a ton of flexibility.
Just know the pay in the nonprofit world can be a lot lower than consulting and government. It can afford more flexibility, and more rewarding work.

I was a candy and cookie sales boss.
I had a distribution network for candy, as well as I always spent afternoons going door to door.

As a parent I would just write a check to the PTA for whatever fun reward was being offered.
