Fuck, I'll do it for a mere million dollars. The market has spoken. I can't do much worse than losing 85% market share.

Do nonprofits really care about the market? Not sure how that works, what would it take to replace her if she doesn't want to be replaced?

  The professionals that work in those nonprofits do. If you want a capable manager or SEO, you need to pay a correct market price.

    Market rates don't matter all that much if the person setting them has a significant influence on what they are. It's like a child determining their allowance based on which one of their friends was able to grab the most money from their mom's purse.

    If I cared badly enough about the mission and it wasn't a for-profit enterprise, I'd take the pay cut. The non-monetary part of my compensation (the feel-good factor and the actual good done in the world that I can't get in a for-profit enterprise) would more than make up for it, at least for a couple of years.

You'd think that there are even qualified people who would do it for (almost) free, just for the chance of building a resume...

  Almost everyone in business has an MBA so that qualification is pretty easy to get. The passion they need is a lot harder.

  As a professional that gets offers like this ("it will be good for your portfolio") I hate this comment. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

    That's because you're looking at this with your "professional" hat on. If your look at this with your "philanthropist" hat on, the optics are suddenly very different.

    Apparently you get monkeys if you pay millions too...
    - mitchdoogle 5y ago
      Well it's the market rate, right?

  There's a weird type of logic going on where almost everyone who would be willing to do it for almost free is probably not qualified for the job. Would you really stake the future of your foundation on someone who still needs to build their resume?

    Japanese CEO salaries are famously very low. The Toyota CEO makes about USD 3.5m. There are other C levels that make 3 times what the Toyota CEO earns in direct compensation. Japanese CEO salaries in general seem to be below USD1m on average.
