Have you sacrified pay to go into that field and how do you deal with that? You may still know people in the startup space, maybe some of them got quite wealthy while you are strolling along with your nonprofit (no offense, I just assume you wouldn't be paid as much). For me this issue is hard to deal with because I used to work at a FAANG, I burned out but don't think I could go back to tech at a tiny fraction of the compensation.
- kgodey 4y agoI'm sure I could be making 2-3x what I'm making but my quality of life is at _least_ 10x better so it's worth it. More money is not worth the stress – quality of life is what matters. I also live in a low cost of living area (small town Ohio) but work remotely, so that helps.
