NGO jobs are not better paid than equivalent jobs in industry. I have plenty of friends in those jobs, and each one of them could easily triple their salary by, for example, going to McKinsey instead.

To give more than anecdotes: it’s self-evident that more prestigious work can afford to pay less than competitors that are boring and get you spit at by your friends.

Once you go up the chain they make very good money. Just look at the houses of non-profit execs in Northern VA. They are huge.

Non-profit execs make good money (by virtue of being execs), but certainly not more than they could be making in industry.

It depends a lot on the NGO. Some cap executive compensation at $100K or so. But others don't.
