The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Things to Look For Before You Take That Nonprofit Job: The Boston Herald reports that Brooks formerly worked at Goldman Sachs in a high-paying position but made the transition to nonprofits at age 40 to balance her life. She advises younger people interested in doing nonprofit work to consider a range of organizations and then decide based on the office culture and work environment. “Don’t just look for mentors in a boss, but think about who your peers will be,” she told the Herald. “If you visit a nonprofit and you don’t see your potential peers hustling or feeling empowered, that’s an indication for how effective you will be. There are plenty of poorly run nonprofits that don’t go out of business.”
