I'm getting more and more jaded by the "hustle culture" in the nonprofit world. We're asked to wear all the hats, and work crazy hours, but that doesn't automatically equal impact. Do others feel this way?

Wow, I came here to write a similar post about nonprofit burnout before I read yours. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this.

I feel exactly the same. I work in development for a nonprofit and my one job is literally the work of three different departments at my previous job.

It’s draining wearing so many hats and I’m at the point where I’m burned out, jaded by the industry, and am thinking about leaving the nonprofit world for good. While I see the community impact that my organization has, I don’t think that impact is enough for me to continue working here at the detriment of my mental health.

It ain't worth it

You are not alone! It’s pretty much an expectation when you work for a nonprofit company. You are expected to pick up the jobs of those who are absent or resigned, plus maintaining a positive “can do” attitude. This is usually triggered when people at the top have been in their jobs for a long time. No room for creative thinking.
I’m so burnt out and angry at the moment that I don’t think they deserve me or my time and the pay is terrible.
Where to go though as each sector has its demons. But, I’m always on the lookout for a move on opportunity!

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
