  Just thinking of other non profits I've glanced at this does feel a little lopsided. $67m salary plus $12m professional expenses all to get $10m out the door on actual operations? What am I missing?

    WMF's "operations costs" that don't count as salaries are probably basically just the costs of server hosting etc. They don't do charity work like prototypical non-profits.

    You missed nothing. It's a "jobs for the boys" jackpot.

    Software developers are more expensive than other fields.

      > Software developers are more expensive than other fields. Software developers in the Bay Area are more expensive than other fields.

        Software devs in bay area are more expensive than non-bay area, but even outside bay area they are still higher than the average profession.
