Hello all,
I know this isn’t the career to choose if money is all you care about, but it is important. I’m curious what people are seeing out there. Are there roles in this field commanding $250k+? I’d think principal gifts or leadership at large universities or hospitals would have to be near or exceed this. MGOs at top orgs seem $100k+.
Also- Would you consider higher ed or healthcare a more lucrative path?
Thanks for any and all input.
Do you all know of any good wine clubs around the area? I'm mainly looking for one that includes a monthly tasting or get-together.
Cheers
Hello all. I'd love to hear experiences from anyone out there working as an MGO, Principal Gift Officer, etc. Especially in Higher Education or Healthcare. There are tons of these positions out there but really not as much known about it as many career fields.
Do you enjoy the role? What is day to day like? Do you get any hybrid work flexibility? How often do you travel? Do you spend a lot of time out of the office with donors getting coffee, lunch, etc. and do you enjoy that part of it? How often are night and weekend events in your position?
I'm also curious about career paths, what is the best gig in this line of work. Principal Gifts at a Hospital System or maybe a large university? Or is it those big CDO leadership roles that really start to reward you. Thanks for answering!
