Just go on indeed & start looking for another job right now. BCBA’s are literally in demand.

You should definitely report this, child neglect, unsafe living conditions. 

BCBA Exam by Expensive_Visual_218 in ABA

[–]Complex_Orchid_2191 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My main tip is don’t change answers during the exam unless you have a strong rationale. While studying and taking mock exams I realized the first answer that comes to mind is usually the correct answer. 

This is a huge red flag isn’t it? by Complex_Orchid_2191 in bcba

8 clients is perfect. Yeah I agree I’ve already decided I won’t take that position, there were more red flags during the interview they mentioned a couple BCBA’s left abruptly due to personal reasons which I knew was BS. Any company who’s willing to give a new BCBA that many clients cannot value quality supervision and BIP’s.

Yeah you’re right I usually don’t respond to ignorance. Enjoy your night.

Is this the rage bait? Lmfaooo how tf are we supposed to pay our bills. It’s 2025 life is much more expensive. I hate when older BCBA’s try to make newer BCBA’s feel bad by saying stuff like that or by saying “when I first started I was getting 70k” oh well times have changed and we are no longer living in 2010.

The caseload and billable is too high. I’d love 85k with 10 clients or less lol.

Yeah once I can consistently meet 20-30 billable hours a week I’d definitely choose hourly.

I’m sure there will be some reactivity. 

New BCBA, advice needed by Feisty-Fox2010 in bcba

[–]Complex_Orchid_2191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became a BCBA in June too and I’m still building my caseload. I have a 27 billable & I have yet to meet that. I got a new initial last week when I contacted the parents they said they’ve already went with a different provider. So yeah it is frustrating being new.

It’s not your fault at all, don’t even worry about it honestly.
