The average between CEOs or executive roles is not important, the average (median) among the public at large is.

Simply put, they are better off than most.

No. The argument was, specifically, that these people are not taking a hit in pay by working for an NGO, and that they are therefore not acting altruistic.

The comparison with similar positions is the only one valid, because those are the better paying job they did not take even though they were qualified.

You're assuming a random NGO "CEO" or "exec" would be ever hired as the CEO/exec of a large private company, which is hardly the case.

Those people are not taking a hit working for an NGO because they would never have the equivalent roles in the business world.
