What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k. Also, any thoughts on the stability of their philanthropic commitment? There's talk of a recession; I don't want to go private to be cute a few months later.

I would take the opp. You don’t have to stop looking after that.
Take it and keep interviewing
Take it, keep looking, then you’ll be leas desperate and look for a nice exit which will naturally take 6-12 months at a relaxed pace. All the best!
Yes take it, in the grand scheme of things that’s nothing. My story, laid off in ‘06, took a consulting role with about a 20% pay cut, 2 years later was back about to where I was, left cause they were struggling and layoffs were coming,went to more of a contract based consulting firm (more like a temp agency) got about a 60% raise, after 3 months, project was cancelled, this is all during the great financial crisis, took about a 40% pay cut to get the next project, but was really never unemployed, maybe a week or two, ended up picking up some tech skills, approached by a new firm, salary increased to my highest ever, went on for 14 years, learned tons of skills. As a professor of mine was fond of saying, life is not linear. Take the job, make the best of it, keep looking.
Take it! The pension benefits alone should nearly make up for that.
Working at your alma mater is another opportunity to demonstrate loyalty if you spin it correctly. You were contributing to the mission while also open to opportunities to advance your career.
No—with this job market and economy your next employer wouldn’t think twice about you taking a short stint at your Alma Mater as means to continue job searching. Take it!
Unless you are VERY good with AI it’s going to be hard to get a consulting job right now

Universities don’t pay as much, so that’s expected. I assume there are other benefits? Free tuition?

I’ve worked in nonprofit since 2006, which allowed me to have a significant non-competitive consulting side hustle nearly every year since.
You take what will get you by. I was on a job for 5 months until a job I really wanted made an offer.
Take it. You’re more attractive to potential employers if you’re currently employed rather than looking for work.
Take the job. You can always keep looking. A paying job is better than no job.
Take it! I had nearly 5 years of experience in consulting and I have been out of work for 1.5 years. I was on unemployment for a while, but had to take a job that's about 50% of what I was making before just to make ends meet. Still looking for another job in my field.

yes
Yes I was out for 8 months
Consulting jobs are being replaced by AI. Take a job and reskill
What are jobs are you talking about? Be specific.
Take it and keep applying. The market is very hard these days.
