OAF might be a good fit for someone fresh out of Peace Corp, which is in line with most of their non-local staff (senior leadership). It’s mostly recent peace corp grads that move up at OAF. I couldn't find any expat hires on LinkedIn with over 1 year of experience. If you have any work experience or are a “local hire”, I'd strongly suggest avoiding the arduous interview process. OAF has a ways to go with pay equity and who they hire for senior positions (a quick director level LinkedIn search makes the issue obvious). The interview process is drawn out, luckily I was simultaneously interviewing for another role which I've since accepted. If not, the 3 month process would have been much more upsetting. Much about OAF is a reflection of the worst cliches in the dev community. This is unacceptable in 2019. However, If you’re Western, 1-2 years out of school or peace corps and believe you can “fix Africa” with no experience outside of a summer internship in the French Alps, this could be a good move to have something for your resume.
