I’ve never worked in a NP but my partner has. And I can tell you the kinds of troubles/issues in the NP space are things that would never come up in typical law firm or corporate settings. The biggest is obviously budget. In my firms and for profit companies we would blow hundreds of thousands in marketing, events, conferences, training. There’s always a concern for budgets but the margin is so much greater. In the NP setting they really are working with such small amounts and every little thing they do is so heavily scrutinized and has to be approved at the highest levels. It frustrated me to hear that my partner’s $10k company wide training was rejected due to lack of funding when my company spent three times as much on our team lunch. It’s like going from a prestigious university with a huge endowment to a small struggling inner city public elementary school. What I also know is the folks in NP absolutely work their tails off and truly are doing more with less. There’s a lot of great work going on inside NPs and if you believe in the work being done you might be quite fulfilled even though you may lack the funding to truly make an impact in the same way.
