Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

Hi👋 I left the role of volunteer manager at a non-profit too. My reasoning was income and growth based. Unsure about your position but there was not a lot of growth potential for at my non profit. When I applied for jobs I used my cover letter and explained that I was looking to grow with X company [I ended up leaving the non-profit world though].
Usually if you’re currently employed at a position, your interviewer knows to not go rattling their mouth. The non-profit world has so many employees who jump around organizations in their local communities, and its understood to keep it discreet. I would recommend having someone you trust there provide a written or phone referral too, so they don’t feel the need to check references until an offer has been made, however.

This is such great insight, I really appreciate it. Thanks so much!!

How much raise for landed folks on promotion?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise
