Hi folks,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question. I'm considering transitioning from the film industry into NGOs (preferably conservation). I currently work in project management.

My two concerns are: is the pay and job security potentially worse than in the film industry?

Would be lovely to hear your thoughts about pay and job security compared to similar roles in for-profit organizations.

With a husband in film/tv for 40+ years - stability and benefits are a huge draw to settling into steady salaried career.
As project manager you likely had salary ans benefits but went job to job. Guessing here.
I love nonprofit and it doesn’t necessarily mean low pay.

Thanks for your thoughts. Do you feel NGO is a volatile industry though? How do you feel your job security?

"Nonprofit market" is so vast you'd need to focus on the area you're looking into (e.g , conservation). Funding is more competitive than ever, but I feel there is a big(er) room for corporate partnerships and funding than for other causes since corporates increasingly revert to the "E" of their ESG (Environment, Sustainability and Governance) strategy. They would also be typically interested in their areas of operation to "give back to the communities" which environment they otherwise contaminate and alter.

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
