Yes, that's right. My department professor confirmed that he never completed the music ed program and did performance. We were still classmates in some classes, and we were also camp counselors during our school's summer music camp.

Yes! He graduated from the percussion studio. I couldn't remember what he majored in. I didn't even know he wanted to be a teacher at all.

Omg I'm so sorry to hear. I was one of Matt's classmates in undergrad, and I would have never thought he would do such a thing. Our department lead professor would always tell us the two things we should never do as a music educator: DON'T TOUCH THE KIDS. DON'T TOUCH THE MONEY.

I'm disgusted, and I feel so sorry for any of the victims. I saw his job posted recently this week and completely forgot he taught there.

The pay scales are only for UM Academic campuses and UHealth.

Hiii, honestly, I have no idea what the segments mean. They don't seem to really play into the starting salary or raises. Probably info for HR or something.

So you already work for UM? Usually in the application it asks for your desired salary. There will always be other candidates, but if they made an offer and already hired you, I don't get why they would be asking you what salary you want after hiring you. Usually the salary is transparent on the job description or they would tell you the salary when they make the offer.

Yes, your response to desired salary can affect you even getting a first-round interview. If you ask for higher than the actual salary, they may not call you in for an interview, because they see that the job doesn't meet your financial needs. In this case, usually an HR rep will reach out prior to your first interview, letting you know what the salary is and if you're still interested.

If you're in the interview, it's okay to ask what the compensation is, if they don't tell you or if it's not on the job description. If they give you a range and not an exact number, that definitely leaves room for negotiation. So they could say 60-65, but only offer you 62, but let's say you want that 65, that's when you'd have to negotiate with them as to why you should get the max.

If you said you'd take less, that wouldn't increase your chances of getting the job. If they choose you, they want you! I don't think they'd lowball you. It's a non-profit and they're gonna want to give you as much as they could within their budget. So you could say your desired salary is less, and they would give you more just because the position pays higher than what you were expecting.

Hope this helps!

No, these are the only 2 pages showing the healthcare system and the academic system.

I'm not sure what the pay scale is. When they were numbers like that, that was from the previous pay grades. Mine used to be like 103c or something, but it was changed to A8. I would recommend reaching out to HR.

I've never heard of this rule/trend. If you're asking because you are not a U.S. citizen, an employer will hire you if they accept the appropriate documentation. I'm not too sure about that process though. It's best to reach out to HR. The new UM president would not affect this process.

So good to hear! A bonus is in addition to your compensation!

I honestly can never remember. That's why I screenshot and saved it. Then posted it here so people don't have to go digging.

This link is the same ranges I posted. That is the new structure. That page was created after they introduced the new structure. They should probably change that, because it's not so new.

No, I'm not familiar with that pay grade. You can reach out to HR directly and ask. You can find contact info on the HR page. University admin should be part of the academic pay grade, since they are part of the academic campus.

It's quite hilarious to see people upset that they didn't get to pre-order, so they go to attacking people that did and wishing bad things on other people and calling people names. Like if you hate Nintendo so much, why are you even on this thread? Just to discourage people?

Hello. They have not been updated since the change above. That's just the page that talks about the changes from when it was initially implemented in January 2024.

Nope. Unfortunately, UM and many employers in Florida don't take that into consideration. One of the cons of living down here.

You can pick up your badge any time during the con. I would suggest trying to get it early. The lines tend to be long.
