[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was a journalist at a startup and I started at $45K. As a 22-year-old. You need to know your worth. Not everyone can be a millionaire but that is not a suitable wage for your stage of your career, especially in a leadership role. There are countless WSJ/Bloomberg articles about how job switchers are the ones getting major raises in most cases. You have to leave this job to get paid enough for the lifestyle your family needs.[/quote]

This. The OP has been suckered by the nonprofit line of "what you're doing is SO important that we're not going to pay you fair wages!"  Many of us in DC get sucked into that line for a couple years out of college, but snap out of it quickly when we realize how many tens of thousands of workers in places like DC are in these roles, and how the organizations love to hire armies and armies of underpaid staffers.... and in the grand scheme, none of what we were doing was really important and life would go on for the world if most of these organizations closed, or fired 80% of their admin workers. [/quote]

Exactly. Get a higher paying job and donate your extra income to a nonprofit that does what your job does now, OP. I have a lot more financial ability to support good causes in the world now that I actually have disposable income. [/quote]
