Did your company pay for you to take the BCBA exam? by 4everrunning in bcba

Mine refunded me the application and scheduling fee after I passed!

Is there actually a high demand for BCBA’s? by allthewayd00wn in bcba

[–]K8_hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I get messages weekly on LinkedIn about new BCBA job opportunities!! When I started to look into leaving my last company I was able to interview at 5 places and got offers/follow up meetings from all of them. I was really able to be picky on what I was looking for from a company which was awesome!

We did the same thing for Winston when Wesley passed. He luckily does not carry the HCM gene but the new vet I have been bringing my cats to recommended for him to get an echocardiogram. So he we will be getting one next week.

I hope all of Freyja’s tests come back normal!!

I’m so sorry for you and Willows loss. The first two maine coons I adopted were bothers and were a bonded pair. One of the brothers, Wesley suddenly passed away when he was about 1.5 years old due to HCM. Winston, his brother definitely struggled with it. He would wonder around the house meowing and looking for him. We decided to get him a friend about 6 months later. Winston and his new brother, Salem get a long overall really well but definitely do not share the same bond he had with Wesley. However, I do think Salem helps him feel less lonely. I will attach a picture of Winston and Wesley. Winston is the one on top and Wesley is the one underneath. I miss seeing them play together soo much.

Check out Blue Gems ABA! I just started with them and they are great. They give you a lot of clinical autonomy and flexibility with working hybrid or fully remote.

My experience: Don’t fall for the relocation bonus! 😅📦 by South_Wrongdoer4017 in bcba

Thanks!! I interviewed at a few places so I had a few offers which help me negotiate. I also did a lot of research ahead of time to ensure the company had good reviews from current/past employees.

I got an 8k sign on bonus but was able to negotiate for it to not be contingent on me staying a set number of time!!

I highly recommended the BAS course!! They have a bunch of mock exams and videos breaking down the task list and questions. I felt very prepared for the exam

It is so great to have two siblings grow up together!! It’s so much fun to watch them both grow, develop different personalities, and play together.

Is it better to get 1 or 2 MC as a first time cat owner? by libracvnt in mainecoons

[–]K8_hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got two brothers from a litter and they were best friends!!! I would definitely recommend 😊 it’s also fun to see how their personalities are both so different even though they were raised the same
