I love working at the nonprofit I am with now but have also had bad experiences. Nonprofits are not know. For security or promotional opportunities so I’m not sure why you are looking for a nonprofit job.

Thanks for sharing, but I wasn't looking to be dissuaded from looking for a job at a nonprofit. I'm at a nonprofit now, I'm aware of their issues and how people often have to switch orgs to move up. Thus my question for any helpful job hunting tips during the pandemic.

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
