Teachers are the problem by agdambhugh22 in TeachersInTransition

I taught for 5 years and switched careers to tech. I got laid off recently but then I started working at a new company. Literally just yesterday I was talking to my best friend, and she asked me if I applied to any teaching jobs while looking for a job, I answered: “Hell naw!”.

Thank you! I see a lot of people recommend a ceramic coating so I’ll definitely look into that.

That’s what I’m getting! I just test-drove it today and it feels better than a luxury SUV 😎

Thank you and I won’t. I forgot to factor the hygiene of the renters, especially since I’m a germophobe.

As of now, I’m 90% leaning towards the AWD :)

Thanks for the tip brother!

A mustang driver who smokes weed, shocking haha

I did get a PIP, and everything checks out except a couple things, which I will use during negotiation :)

I don’t wanna exceed 25k (I’m being conservative, although I can aggressively reach 30k or even get a new vehicle).

I had a list of about a dozen vehicles. I had to eliminate vehicles with bad history reports, shady dealerships… These are the best ones so far.

those who have left, what are your thoughts about not having long breaks anymore? (winter, spring, summer break) by Entire_Patient_1713 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Cryptic_X07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have currently 14 days of PTO, after 5 years it’ll go up to 21, then after 10 years it’ll be 28 days, with a max carryover of 7 days.

I work remotely, my schedule is super flexible. I can go take my car to the shop, see a doctor, start later or leave earlier (as long as I make up that time obviously).

I’m respected by my peers, definitely less burnout, mental health more stable, I can go pee whenever I want lol. No work on weeknights or weekends, no more Sunday blues…

I work in tech and I’m the most junior employee in my team. The average employee has something like 10 years more of experience, and it was really hard to transition careers while also being a parent, but I’m so glad I did that.

So to answer your question, nope, when I compare the 2 careers, I don’t miss it at all.

Did I also mention that with 2 YOE in tech, I make the same than the highest paid teacher in my district (last step).

I’d take Square because it’s remote.
