[quote=Anonymous]Former / recovering academic here. I work for an NPO that does research, grantmaking, advocacy, community convening, etc. in a human services field. I find it incredibly intellectually stimulating (with none of the administrative tedium that I experienced in academia). When I’m on a project, I get to learn all about something new, talk with really smart people about it, and create something to benefit other people. I’m on 3-4 projects at a time that run anywhere from 2 weeks-6 mos., and manage a couple large ongoing projects. I feel incredibly lucky because I applied for 3 or 4 jobs with this org. before I got my position. From the inside, I now see I would have been a terrible fit for those roles. My boss has a knack for really recognizing and working to people’s strengths. [/quote]
