End of the grading period hit today! I had students who were really sad and others rejoiced. One of our 6th Graders told me that I am his favorite teacher and he loves my class. I have to admit he totally surprised me. He has improved so much in this grading period, and I am going to miss him and his quirky sense of humor. Do you have that student who has done a complete turn around, and what do you contribute it to?

Learn from it and replicate it.

For real, one day I was having a conversation with him about the interruptions he was creating. He told me, "But Mrs. S, I have ADHD". I explained to him how, when he is moving stuff, bouncing his chair, pecking on stuff, it really messes with my OCD, and messes with my nerves. I made a deal with him that I would try to be a bit more patient with his distractions. He told me that he would try to be a little more calm. That is the day everything changed.

How does one most effectively make the transition into management from an Individual Contributor?

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

Hey Fishes,

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
