Non-profit work is systematically underpaid (and often unpaid) in relation to its value (e.g. for humanity) since market mechanisms are laughably unfit to price it properly. I think the EA community is in a great position to counteract this through a culture of high salaries, good benefits etc. and should use that opportunity. I’m happy you bring it up though, as I think there should be far more research on things like salary, incentives etc. instead of just relying on “business/market common sense” which is only fully appropriate in businesses proper, which most EA organisations are not.
