Lately, we’ve worked with a lot of people who have retired or left their careers in the for-profit sector and entered the nonprofit sector, and we’re kind of pissed about it. The implication is that nonprofit jobs are somehow lesser or easier to handle. Spoiler alert: nonprofits aren’t a cake walk!
In today’s episode, we’re diving into making the jump from for-profit to nonprofit. We talk about why it makes us mad, the problems that arise from it, and don’t worry, we grudgingly remain positive with some examples of how for-profit work experience can be helpful.
What’s in this episode:
[02:05] Brittny has worked with people recently who have made the jump from for-profit to nonprofit careers and it kind of pisses her off that nonprofit is considered “lesser”
[10:55] The problems that arise when people with no experience in nonprofit come in at executive level positions
[20:35] It’s not all bad, though, because we have some examples of for-profit experience that was helpful in their nonprofit role
[28:25] The Google search results of how to transition from for-profit to nonprofit are hilarious
