My last role was Director of Ventures at a rising org out of Seattle. The work was rewarding and impactful, but as a non-profit I found myself spending less time working with founders and more time fundraising. It was very stressful as fundraising for a non-profit is neverending work.
I left for a manager role that saw me with a lower title, but never having to worry about fundraising ever again. I have less responsibility, a lower title, and more red tape, but my stress level and work/life balance made the move 100% worth it.
