can you dash me your 10 years experience please

Lol, remuneration be making sense.

NGO work reward is good. However, they only select those already working with them or those with UN experience. This I can tell you for free. Very difficult to enter except through recommendation by well connected insider. Otherwise, the post is usually filled by those working in the organization already but may be in different department but wants to switch to another department.
