[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP,

I work in finance and can speak to this. Nonprofits ARE very interested in former private-sector finance people and feel that they bring a lot of experience to the job. They’re willing to pay for it, but not investment banking-level wages (which it sounds like what your husband is doing). They are mostly found through word of mouth, though, as another PP said.

What degree is he thinking of going for? Regardless, I don’t think it’ll matter. MBA recruiting is already hard as it is, and dropping $70K on a random masters degree won’t make a difference in his employment situation since he sounds pretty high up (I’d guess Manager - Sr. Director level if he’s in his mid-30s).

Head hunters can be very hit or miss in this area. Mostly Miss, save for a handful of good ones but they’re all working on the same jobs, for the most part.

Lastly, I must ask — why does he want to do nonprofit work? If he doesn’t like his own child to be noisy and for everything to be controlled, he’ll have a hell of a time in the nonprofit space. People fly by the seat of their pants on a good day. [/quote]
