Because of testing, have you, a science teacher, become an English teacher?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

Just wanted to say hello to my Texas peeps!!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

PERM question:

My lawyer said they filed my PWD in October and they conducted recruiting in December-January.. They mentioned they hope to prepare my PERM filing and send to me for review in March/April. Has anyone filed PWD in October? And does this timeline sounds about right ?

Moving to Philly next year, making ~90k before tax. Would like to hear some opinions on how much I should spend on rent. (For context I do not have student loans and would also like to lease a car)

Anyone working towards early retirement? Whats your target $, age and location?

I have 3.5 years of experience. I have 2 offers 1. Ssir : Will receive hands on experience in all aspects of my domain 2. Nvidia: Will be working on only 1 aspect of my domain. Both offers have similar pay. Any idea which company I should choose?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

A real gem from Henry Ford: "stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."

What happens when someone sign an offer letter and decide not to join for some reason like joining a diff company?

Let’s talk comp — I’m a remote head of recruitment with 6 years of experience being paid 75K base plus bonuses that got me to 90K this year. I’m interviewing for other jobs, and have a potential offer at $130K base. Any idea what the market is like? Is seems like anything between 72K and $250K is possible. I have no idea what to ask companies for.

Why do so many people need sponsorship? Most people I speak to in tech (data) require some sort of sponsorship. Just curious why this is.

How are you encouraging students to DO science while remote learning? When online, most of my students stay muted and won’t collaborate. Also, most “labs” have turned into analyzing data instead of student-led.

What free programs can I use for an after school virtual coding class with elementary students?

Sink or swim. I applied for a position as a “STEM Coach” that I don’t qualify for via university degree, but do qualify for on experience and self initiative. Got nothing to lose:).

Computer Science teachers, I am a newbie focusing on beginning studies in Cybersecurity for a K12 Computer Science Summer Camp.
Is there anyone interested in helping me here with questions that I may have during my upcoming PD journey this summer?

Anyone know where to get free stuff for reverse engineering projects? I have tried Good Will, Home Depot, RAFT, Staples, and OfficeMax.

Does anyone have any good one day engineering challenges for 8th graders to help tune them in this time of year?
