As a comparison, Doctors Without Borders/MSF USA had a policy of paying
the
E.D. no more than 3 times the rate of the entry level
positions. When I
left at the end of 2004, the entry level salary was $35,000 and the E.D.
was $105,000. Not sure what it is now.
How are they structured? Was there another layer of management at the
international level? $105k sounds very low for the top person in an
organisation of any significant size.
