Also, I will stand up and say that I, for one, am not
a fan of WMF trying to
match market pay in the SF area. I am interested WMF in retaining qualified

which includes pay as only one of many factors. If pay was a widespread
problem then I'm sure Gayle and Eric would be seeing that. I expect that,
as with many nonprofits, the mission of the nonprofit and the satisfaction
of working on the mission with like-minded people will compensate for the
lower monetary compensation.
Anyone in IT knows that there's such a thing as "charity scale", where
you get paid less because you're working for a nonprofit in exchange
for less stress and/or doing actual good in the world.`
