Next week’s question

I currently work for a non-profit. The other day somebody senior in the organisation took me aside and told me she thinks I’m too good for my role and that I should look for something with much higher pay in the private sector, to better support my young family.

I had been thinking the same. I’m very interested in corporate intelligence or risk analysis, and these have significant overlaps with my current work. But all my professional contacts are in non-profits or academia. How should I go about attempting to make the shift? Anonymous, 30s
