[quote=Anonymous]I made this exact pivot last year, after about a year of searching. I had a functional expertise and was senior (say, Senior Director of Digital Marketing). I originally took the job because it paid well enough and gave me a great title. But like you, I quickly realized there was a real ceiling on total comp and I wasn't so tied to the title or being in a non profit that I wouldn't hop. I also realized the whole "mission driven" thing was total BS at my particular nonprofit. I had to take a step down to get the new position, but ultimately increased my total annual comp from a trajectory of $225-250k over the next 5 years to $275k-300k over that same time period. There's more room for growth here, with at least one promotion in place and potential to be headhunted by another company. I was 38. It was a hard sale for some folks, but my advice would be to go while you can. At some point, you're too expensive to pivot.[/quote]
