I'm ops lead at a non-profit. I took _huge_ pay cut when I moved from the private / government sector to NFP space but I'll tell you what - it was worth every dollar. You can't put a price on happiness, freedom and the value of the visibility of the impact to communities and disadvantaged / at risk people from them work you do. Do a good job with a real impact and work with (not for) an organisation that genuinely strives to make an impact and is transparent and you'll earn respect.

Did you mean "communities", or are Communists really that hard up in the states?
Hahaha I most definitely meant communities, thank you for pointing that out! Damn autocorrect...
Any advice for someone looking to work in the NFP space?
