What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k. Also, any thoughts on the stability of their philanthropic commitment? There's talk of a recession; I don't want to go private to be cute a few months later.

Yep, I’ve got a friend who is one! Her official title is Art Director, but she’s definitely a designer-illustrator. Mad tablet chops
Almost every designer I’ve hired (~20) is the hybrid you’ve described. Finding them earlier in their career is easier, but will require more mentorship investment. The more established folks will come with a justified premium and they turn up much less often. Watch out for designers who claim they can illustrate but lack the skills to do it in real-world scenarios (on a deadline, lots of potential revisions, stretching across different styles, etc). Good luck!
Super helpful, thank you!
