I earn the average.

I make about 10k above state average.

$5k over here. I'll take it!

Why is Michigan so off? 🤨
At least for me, 32K difference at the time of my retirement in June of 2024.

I guess I made about $3000 over the average this year. I have a M.Ed plus another 24 hours, 10 years of experience, and I work in one of the highest paying districts in the state.

I work in Mississippi this is my 25th year. I can retire right now if I like. I make 65K. My house cost 172k with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths and 1 acre of land. I got that house in 2018. The pay for teachers could be better, but you also have to take in the cost of living is much lower here. What would be great is to have a set of rights that the district admins and school admins could not violate and treat teachers like trash.

I’m always curious about teachers in other states. In what ways do feel that you are mistreated? When I retire, I want to write a book about teacher abuse.

Colorado looks pretty good to me!

Oh gross, this is how I learned I am paid $15,000 less than the state average. That’s super depressing and there’s probably nothing I can do about it. What a fun way to start summer break.

With very few exceptions, note that the red states are below the national average while the blue states are above it.

You have to remember the cost of living is probably so much lower in a lot of these places compared to what you are used to. In Florida we also don’t pay state income tax.

Mississippi’s state average is 5k more than what I make….

I wish it wrote average number of years. I’m in NY and year 8 and make 82. So not super far off and by year 12 I should be there.

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis? When I’ve worked with service designers the output seems to be another version of a process map, are there other skills and experience needed? I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.
