A. Know the Territory
   
To ensure your career transition is successful, you need to make a commitment and invest in the journey. Individuals of all ages and in all types of positions will need to put some concentrated time, effort, and financial resources into crossing the bridge.
 
You should know that non-profits, like any other workplace, vary substantially in their financial resources, working environments and organizational culture. If you make the transition, keep in mind that a nonprofit may not necessarily be the kinder, gentler place that you may think it will be. Nonprofits may have different pressures than the ones you may be accustomed to, but they are still pressures.
