Employment and perceptions around it have changed greatly thanks to COVID. Looking back on that time and working from home, etc - what is one way your view of work has changed?

For me, it really has been that I am just going to do my job and go home. Overachieving or being a super team player means nothing. Absolutely nothing. Especially in the corporate world. I do my 8 hours and nothing beyond that now.

I have realized that most jobs can be done from home. Crazy to me that employers are still paying to rent these offices when we can all do our jobs from home. Its also good to know though in case there is a bad storm or something we have that capability.

DC is trying to change some of these offices into housing but it’s not going like planned. The outcomes so far have been overpriced but we can hope.

I truly do not care how the work is done, or from where it’s done. I care that it’s done, and that there’s clear communication. I attribute that to the COVID era, for sure.

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
