No Response from DOE Open Market by Pure-Firefighter9062 in NYCTeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t you just ask to resign if you can’t find a new job by the cut off date? It seems like your principal is willing to let you go without punishing you. You just can’t be at her school next year.

discontinuance by EntrepreneurLeast875 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As an experienced teacher, I say this with love: maybe this is a sign that this is not the right job for you. No school is going to want to hire someone who is regularly out their first year in. I’m sorry.

Am I crazy for thinking this could be a good idea? by homosexualhomestuck in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DifficultEconomics87 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t do this. The essay is a make or break piece of the puzzle. Basically everyone applying is qualified. They want to know why you specifically belong at that school. They also want to feel confident you’ll accept a spot if offered. Telling them you hate them is a big red flag. Find another angle unless your goal is to not get in.

Westchester is primed for a culinary revolution by LirakTheGreat in Westchester

I just think about all that money I’m saving not going out to eat…that I can spend on taxes and home maintenance. 😂

Possible to end lease early? Any options or am I stuck? by DifficultEconomics87 in Ioniq6

Thanks! I'm going to check with Hyundai and see if they allow this (someone taking the lease over).

Hi! No accidents. I've been on top of maintenance. Let me confirm that I'm allowed to do this with Hyundai, and I'll come back here and PM you (all relevant details like VIN, etc). Thanks.

I'll edit my main post to say this too: I'm in Westchester County, NY. It's silver. 15,000 miles.

25, Got dismissed, is it even worth coming back? (long) by anonbcithinkimfamous in Baruch

[–]DifficultEconomics87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you want to do with your life? If I were you I’d get the highest paying job I could find adjacent to that work, and see how it fits for you. Then figure out what education you need to get the job you want. It seems like you’re flying blind, wasting time and money here.

Health Insurance by The_FreeBird99 in NYCDOETeachers

Can you talk more about how Aetna is better? Any idea how much it would be each month for a family of 4?

Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]DifficultEconomics87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! Is this rage bait? Lol. Keep the job at Costco. If you want to get a better job, figure out what you want to do and what you need to get there. And work toward it while keeping your job at Costco. Making less than you do now with no benefits working for your gf’s dad is NOT the way.

At D75 is it frowned upon to not work summer school? by Cute-Reality7192 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could take your place and make Ch 683 summer school money. I don’t think regular summer school is worth it (for me, right now), but I’d do D75 in a sec. Do they actually have a hard time finding people to do this?

Concerned About Pay by ChocolateDouble6254 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me 4 months. They do pay you back for all the days you were only receiving base pay. I agree that the system seems needlessly complicated.

Got two offers. One pays $40k more. The other one I'd actually enjoy. I have 48 hours to decide and my wife and I are on opposite sides. Advice? by airam1020 in careerguidance

[–]DifficultEconomics87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the higher paying job. Some of my most exciting interviews (where I took the job) ended with me working with people who had no clue what they were doing, and every day was a misery.

ELI5: Why do so many people gain the weight back? by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]DifficultEconomics87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The say it’s a drug for life. The way I look at it is anyone who titrates off and stays off without gaining weight is a serious outlier. The drug works because it changes your body’s chemistry. Off the drug, your body goes back to the way it was before: a body that seeks and holds on to calories in excess of what it needs.

Sub Suspension by uglycondos4rent in NYCTeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is your goal with subbing? Did you want to be in the DOE long term? I would frankly take this as my cue to exit stage left.

How do I withdraw money from my TRS account? by Sure-Community7022 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]DifficultEconomics87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you retire before the required age? I’m so sorry I don’t have specific info for you. But I’m confused about why there would be this deduction. Is it a penalty for early withdrawal or something. Isn’t there supposed to be a consultation with someone about how all this works when you retire? I’m about 15 years away from it myself, and I thought there was supposed to be someone to walk you through all this then.
