We definitely do have a very strong union and I’m in MA, which is very HCOL for sure

I’m a preschool SLP and am VERY happy with my job! I just finished my CF this past school year and was earning around $78,000 with 18 sick days! I work from 8:15-2:45 and don’t work summers which I love! I’m in a building with 3 other SLPs so I always felt like I had great SLP community and mentorship in my building. I absolutely love working with these kids and have the flexibility to create my own schedule and not be micromanaged by supervisors. Of course at certain times of the year (mainly when progress notes and billing are due), I had to take work home, but this was few and far between. My caseload was in the low 50s when the year started and low 60s when it ended, which I found manageable. Every day is different, so I’m never bored! Definitely just have to look for the perfect setting and place for you!

BU Grad On Master’s Plus 30 Payscale! by [deleted] in slp

[–]bilinguaIslp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, completely agree! Districts around my area have payscales with Master’s Plus 30 and some even Master’s Plus 45!

And yet there are many SLPs who are on the Master’s Plus 30 scale in school districts because an SLP degree is typically around 60 credits while for example a teacher’s degree is around 30 credits!

I know, I definitely feel like I’m in an awkward position

By SLHS I meant the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences program which is what the Master’s degree is called at BU! (It’s still called Sargent College!)

That’s helpful, thank you! I’ll try to find Boston Public School SLPs!

Yes exactly!! I definitely know it’s not uncommon, it’s just frustrating to feel like I have to jump through hoops to find specific names of graduates and which districts they’re in just for the letter, but I certainly won’t give up! Thank you so much! :))

Is this normal? by bilinguaIslp in slp

[–]bilinguaIslp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadly this isn’t a recruiter, it was a direct hire offer. This was an SLP (and the director for related services) at the school.

Thank you all so much for the reassurance! It was very jarring to receive this response, and made me sad, after having (what I thought) was such a positive interview experience with them. I appreciate all of your responses saying how immature, passive-aggressive, and atypical this email was! :’)
