[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Double biglaw. But remember I am happier to disclose my income on this board than other stats. Like, say, how many hours of screen time a day my kids have. When it’s a “good” number for you, you post it willingly. When it isn’t, you skip the thread. [/quote]

Exactly this. Much happier to talk about my salary than my weight, for example. People like to bragg, even anonymously. All the people earning $50k don’t post about it here.[/quote]

The OP didn’t ask us poors to post. Actually I’m not poor (in my mid-50s as a capped GS15 I’m almost up to OP’s standard but never will be) but I’m not exceptional on DCUM. On the plus side,[b] I weigh the same 125 lbs as I did when I got married. So I’ll brag about that instead.[/b] [/quote]

That’s something to brag about for sure. [/quote]

I do too but I also earn $230K.[/quote]

A capped GS-15 isn’t far off from that when you consider the pension benefits.[/quote]

That depends.  I work for a non-profit for 250K with an annual bonus of 50K.  I also receive a 6% 403b contribution with 100% matching (vs. 5% in the Fed), much better health and dental benefits.  I also receive a 1.5% pension for every year of service (vs. 1% in the Fed).  In my case, the nonprofit sector is much better than the Fed.[/quote]

300K for a non-profit exec?  Susan G. [i]Come-on[/i]!

I am less okay with exorbitant non-profit salaries than corporate; that money usually comes at the expense of the program.  Donors beware.[/quote]

You (and people who think like you) are the reason we have so many poorly run nonprofits. A nonprofit, much like many for-profits, needs experience and skill to be successful. A major part of that is paying for that experience and skill. You can't arbitrarily say a $300k salary for a nonprofit executive is too much without looking at their finances. You don't know their budget. $300k for a $2m budget? Yes, that's questionable. $300k for a $10m budget is more reasonable. As a society, we need to get away from the mentality that nonprofits should be lowballing salaries. The best way to make nonprofit programs successful is to put skill and knowledge behind those programs and that requires money. [/quote]

Right, because Wall Street CEOs making millions in comp never mess up anything.

The people motivated by money always put the mission first?  Good luck with that.[/quote]

Like it or not it is how they maintain job security.[/quote]
