My impression is that most EA orgs are paying employees significantly below the market rate. Given most EA orgs don’t have the cash on hand to give their staff a payrise to market rates, there may be considerable human capital they are missing out on (imagine a effective employee who nonetheless is unwilling to paid below market). So I’m not sure EA at the moment is not money constrained. (On the other side, I confess to looking around some marginal projects I am aware of and not being greatly impressed by their upside of likelihood of success),
My hunch is it will move in that direction in the future, as most E2Gers are fairly early in careers and will expectedly earn more in the long term.
