[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A nonprofit? Wasn't USAID an agency? What am I missing?[/quote]

OP are you ok? USAID isn't a nonprofit.

What was she doing for $272K a year that someone else couldn't do for say $120K or even $100K?

I do belive there are a ton of people being way overpaid in large cities like DC.[/quote]
Do you live in DC? Do you have any idea the COL here? 100k would be criminal exploitation for an educated, experienced employee.[/quote]

Based on what? Credentialism alone shouldn’t guarantee you a high paying job. What do you DO that commands a high salary? If you are fungible or easily replaceable for cheaper, tough luck. [/quote]

$100k would get you someone with four years of experience here. You seem completely unaware of the job market here.[/quote]

You are still focused on credentialism and rubrics [b]rather than the value of what she actually DOES. [/b]You've been lost in the sauce for too long, you can't even see it. The whole premise of the thread is asking[b] whether her skillset and was she DOES was actually worth it.[/b] Nobody is entitled to a high salary just because they went to some nice-sounding school and racked up years of service doing not much of anything. [/quote]

+1000. This is the problem.  [/quote]

Executives at this level are expected to manage resources effectively and excel at fundraising. In many ways, their performance generates returns that are multiples of their own salary. By offering lower pay, an organization risks attracting less capable candidates who might squander the resources of even a well-funded nonprofit.

This follows the same logic used in the private sector: high executive compensation is seen as an investment in growth rather than funds that could simply be distributed to shareholders.[/quote]
