For global development professionals like Allwell Akhigbe, knowing what an available position pays in advance is more than just convenient information to have.
Akhigbe, a nonprofit business development specialist, recently accepted a new role that required a move from a town in Nigeria to its capital city, Abuja. The employer’s pay transparency was a major factor in his decision to apply because of having to plan for the change in cost of living that such a move would require.
“If that employer hadn’t put the salary on the advert, I wouldn’t have seen it as any different from the volunteering I was already doing,” he said, adding, “I would definitely have passed up on it.”
