Nonprofit professional looking for advice on where to go from here
Hi everyone, hoping I can get some advice on my situation. I’m currently pursing my masters in data analytics, just finished my first year 2 months ago. I have a bachelors in health systems management, but fell into nonprofit fundraising right before graduation and never left. I’m really trying to move on from being a fundraiser/giving officer and transition into data analytics but I’m having trouble finding a way out of fundraising with my current credentials.
I received an offer last week working with donor data, but unfortunately I couldn’t justify the pay cut because my current pay is already on the lower end for my family’s needs. It also requires 3 in-office days and the commute is about 40 minutes. I’m currently remote and my current role gives me time during the day to work on projects for my classes. With my difficult courses starting in a month, I didn’t want to take the risk and lose more time studying.
I’m disappointed in myself for not being able to make the offer work, but I have to keep looking. I’m looking for advice on where I should go from here and how to secure my first data analyst role. My last two courses were on SQL and Tableau.
