I really wanna get out of NY, even if just for a few years, but I feel like most low COL places don’t have great agencies or work. Anyone make a move for a bit?

I loved Denver. I don’t think I could do Chicago winters. Austin intrigued me.

I think my fear is moving out of NY and not being able to come back. I’ve heard it’s very hard to get back here. I’m also a total introvert and struggle with the idea of starting a new life, essentially.

Go to LA and you can have twice the space for the same price and tons of hiking to be an introvert. I live in LA as a freelancer and actually work more for NY agencies. Quality of work is pretty close it quality of life is way higher.

Wanna trade places for a year?

There are local agencies that make good regional work all over the place. It doesn’t have to be working on national campaigns.

I left the US and traveled and worked for agencies across Europe and Asia for 10 years. Best thing I ever done. Opened my mind, forced me out of my comfort zone, got to live and work in different cultures, the food is amazing.

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!
