It isn't really notable that someone makes <X> salary "at a nonprofit". Nonprofit doesn't really mean charity.

  Charity also doesn't mean zero salary, does it?
  • Trundle 8y ago
    It doesn't, but it does tend to mean heavily reduced salary because part of the employees compensation is the warm fuzzies they get.
    • nbanks 8y ago
      That seems to be the case for openAI, since the compensation was lower than other offers.

  Yes, they're not necessarily charities, but _in general_ they pay much lower than for-profit organizations.

    To the degree that this is true, my impression is that it's due to poor fundraising departments at those organizations, which appears common enough to be a stereotype. "Nonprofit" really only affects how an organization's taxes are reported, all in all.
