I don’t think that’s universal. I work for a NFP and the pay is about the same but the work environment is far, far better.
Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?
Hallainzil@startrek.website 10 months agoThat must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It’s not an experience I’d be excited to repeat.

Glad to hear its not universal.

I think you can apply that to any area regardless of whether they are for or non-for profit.

No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.
Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.
