Just quit your job and you’ll stop making a profit.

I think it's the company that's not supposed to make a profit.

Ugh scam city. So many of these non profits exist for no other reason than making their leadership filthy rich. For many, a tiny percentage of their total revenue actually makes it to the intended cause.

That’s not how nonprofit operate. 501c 3’s require fiscal transparency to maintain exemption, and grant funding organizations require outcome to effort disclosure. Senior leaders have capitated salaries. I. Terms of earning potential, make sure you’re in it for the love and not the money.

I feel like everything you need to know about the non-profit world can be learned from the comedian who has an ongoing character called “Nonprofit Boss.”

I’ve been thinking about making this pivot too but I would have to selective about which specific non-profit since there are a few decent ones

As others have suggested, you really need to do your homework. Everyone will talk a great story, but only a few really follow through on their mission in a way that has impact and scale - and thus be worth a big career switch for you. Guide Star is certainly not perfect, but it is a place to start learning. Raising funds nowadays for virtually every nonprofit is a constant effort.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Anyone in downtown bk or Williamsburg wants to join our board game group?

We are currently a group of 3, but one person is moving to west coast soon, which reduces our board game options and complexity!

We tend to hangout with limited groups of friends and meet up at least every other week. So ideally just want to find 1-2 more like-minded people to join us.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with what are your top 3 board games and a description of your personality :)

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
