NGO Jobs Payscale

So I’ve learnt that a lot of organisations exist within Pakistan which are funded by parent organisations from US , UK , German , French ( USAID , ICRC , MSF etc ) and they deal with Medical Flood relief and providing water sanitation , Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning etc.

Was wondering if anyone is personally involved in such organizations and what are the payscales like ?

Any advice would be appreciated !

Re: NGO Jobs Payscale

The payscales are usually way above the market average. I have a friend working for USAID, he used to work in a bank before and his pay has almost quadrupled for a similar job.

Ask for ( in Dr. Evil voice ) "One millllion dollahs"

Re: NGO Jobs Payscale

Sheyn, I don't have any info on the medical field, my friend is in a security related branch of USAID and when he joined he had around 4 years of work experience. And payscales do vary a bit between NGOs so you have to keep that in mind too. Generally I would say quote higher than what you would normally expect and it's always better to over-quote than under-quote. Usually NGO's have pre-determined pay grades and many even make the salary clear when you're applying for the job.
