You guys are selling yourself short. I work for the UN as a P2 with almost no experience and my total compensation last year was 120K (not including the fact that the UN pays your taxes and they contribute 16% into a pension). UN salaries might look low at first but once you consider the post-adjustment, dependency allowance, rental subsidy, health insurance, pension, tax benefits, relocation allowance, and DSA the salaries are pretty good. I figure I would need to make at least 200K in another job to be equivalent.
