To all the directors of development, I hope you had a great year and hit your metrics. I had the hardest year of my life as I had a baby last year. I also had my worst quarter of my job (3 years). I did bounce back and ended the year with the highest amount of money raised for me. Feeling accomplished, tired, but grateful. I hope you all had great years and are gearing up for another. Our fiscal year starts July 1. I’ve been totally coasting the last few weeks just resting and preparing for q1! I hope others here have had the same opportunity.

Thanks.

Hey everyone, been lurking this sub for a bit now. My fiancée (28F) is looking to break into the higher-ed advancement industry in the MA/CT area.

She has 6 years of fundraising experience the private equity and real estate investing space. She’s raised over $50m independently in this industry.

We know nothing about the space other, but are on the same page that a career transition for her at this time makes the most sense due to benefits, lifestyle, and more.

Are her skills applicable? How can we make her a standout candidate to those with industry experience. Thanks!
