I worked in IT for a nonprofit for almost 5 years. I loved my job, loved our mission, loved my coworkers and our staff, and was very passionate about supporting the work we did

Eventually though I just couldn’t resist the allure of money. The salary wasn’t even remotely competitive compared to private companies and I eventually left for an easy 50% raise with less responsibility. And I constantly felt guilty about my salary while working there as I knew I was making double of what most of our program staff made even while feeling underpaid myself
