Would you rather work for a private or public company if you could choose anywhere? I love the sense of mission working for a non-profit or similar company, but the culture has been toxic at the non-profits I've worked at. Is this typically the case, or should I not give up yet?

I can certainly relate to having had less than ideal experiences working for non-profits. It could be that the organizations you've been involved with were mismanaged, but don't give up too soon on non-profits! There are many incredible organizations out there that are dedicated to doing relevant and impactful work, and working for them can be extremely rewarding. The decision between private and public really boils down to personal preference in terms of work culture, flexibility, and benefits.

It depends sometimes non-profits are mismanaged or are just startups so sometimes it takes time for them to work themselves out. I like working for non-profits because they are smaller and not corporate. Corporate is sometimes tough to work for bc they are by the books and aren't as flexible as non-profits. You need to make that decision on what is the best fit for you.

Non-profits can definitely be toxic in my experience, but so can the corporate world. So the pasture is not always greener on the other side. I would consider networking with people you know and finding out about companies that really have a good culture before applying. Otherwise you might be chasing jobs for a long time.
