I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

I would wait until you have an offer to stress about it. But otherwise, i would have expected a larger pay cut than “slightly less” for what you described. Sounds like a decent deal.

Hello! As an update I received an offer that is on par with my current compensation. Obviously long term compensation will be much much less at the land trust. I don’t have kids and don’t plan on having kids and no student debt (but no independent wealth,trust fund, etc.) Thoughts?

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
