I think most in nonprofit recognize and accept that salaries simply aren't as high as in the for-profit sector. What they don't want is to feel taken advantage of. It's not an exorbitant salary, but a fair one, they seek.<br/><br/>Tom Durso<br/>http://www.501cfiles.com Spot-on, Rosetta.

The other item that I need to have is respect. It connects to salary and a good boss to some extent, but also includes the feeling that my opinion matters and that I have a say in organizational/programmatic decisions. I don't really understand why an organization would hire you if it has no level of respect or trust in your abilities, but its happened to me before.

I took a pay cut to work for a wonderful boss (who I had worked for in the past), who I knew would both value my work and challenge me to grow.
