Don’t do it

Transition experience is bumpy - very much a sink or swim environment and you're going to have to learn the Bain way of doing things, which can be a big adjustment for lateral hires. It's not an impossible transition by any means but it is really hard for a lot of people, and many leave / CTL within 1-2 years

I lateraled at an earlier tenure but having been through the M/SM promo process I would strongly advise thinking carefully about coming over at that level - I think that PEG is a slightly easier transition than GP but it's still really tough

Echo the sentiments. It’s really difficult. Bains not set up to integrate people well laterally. And people will have some sense of outsider ship bias against you, especially in the early days, even if they don’t explicitly say it.

Not saying u shouldn’t do it. Just go in with eyes wide open.

Message me directly if you want to talk in detail, it’s an important decision and implications can be different for everyone. But on average I agree with everyone here that it doesn’t work out well

Thank you all for sharing. Sounds like a tough transition overall

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding?

What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.
