I got an opportunity of a position in a non-for-profit organization. I am currently working for a big corporation and am very happy what I am doing and also who I am working with. However, the new position in the non-for-profit organization looks very attractive and it's 100% matches to what I am doing now. Most of all, the pay they offer is very appealing, about 20k more than my base salary now. My current career plan is looking for stability, since I will start a famliy soon and planning for having kids next year.

Indeed, my boss introduced this position to me. I want to think about this very clearly before I can ask him to forward my resume to the recruiter. So here is my dilema and I appreciate your suggestions.

- What the disadvantage of working for non-for profit? like ong-term career development, etc

- Can a non-for-profit have a bonus program? In my current company, the bonus is about 5-10% each year.

- Does non-for-profit have 401k matching?

- what are the benefits of working for non-for-profit?

Many thanks

----------------------------------------------ALL these depends on the specific organization. Check with their HR.

Just curious. Is it your current boss who introduced this position to you?

non-for-profit, means everything for profit??? 

That's exactly my dilema. I can not approach their HR unless I tell my boss I am insterested in this position and would like to go for it. I visit their website and the info there is very vague.

I like to be 轻松. My current job is 轻松 too. So this doesn't make a difference.

I know most of my questions are really case by case. I just hope I can get some referencing cases here...

什么样的non-for-profit啊？听起来不像是学校。因为如果是学校，工资大约是多少，福利都有哪些，一般在网上都能找到。我只知道学校的情况。你关心的那些，学校和学校之间差别太大了。一般说来，non-for-profit的福利会比公司的好，好多少就要个别对待了。比如那个403（学校的不是401,其实大体都一样),还有day care.

I work for a non-profit organization. We do have bonuses, but I also heard we may cancel this program next year. It is decided by committee.We also have 401K matching, actually the matching is pretty attractive. Basically I feel benefits are the same as other places, if not better, but it really depends that organization. We don't have ESPP plan though. Normally salary for non-profit is lower, but it depends, for example, your case . I also heard from my friend who works for another non-proft in another big city, they pay her $80/hour. She hasn't graduated yet, so just work as contract. I was really surprised how much a non-profit can offer.
