I once applied for an accounting job, which would be the only accountant in the company, reporting directly to the COO. They were offering $26-32k, which I got after speaking with them over the phone. I said the job I just left paid double that and the guy lost interest (didn't call me back when he said he would)- but not before trying to convince me that I should be privileged to work at their company because they make they're a green company and somehow that makes it right to pay a CPA close to minimum wage. It was a for profit company too! My current job is at a non-profit that doesn't have a pot to piss in and they are still paying me almost double! Some employers just don't want to pay for decent employees, and then wonder why they have poor employees and/or retention.
