I hear you...I’m not a single parent but I’m currently only income and it’s rough. I’m trying really hard to suck it up and look for state assistance.

I couldn’t imagine living on my income alone. I’m barely affording to get by. Doing as much after school clubs and summer school as I can next year. This year was my first year and it was a bit overwhelming. I’ve evn thought about teaching Chinese kids English at home. Forgot the name of it but it’s online.

You’re thinking of VIPkid. I interviewed for it. I chose not to continue it. You have to be super bubbly all of the time and it’s just not for me. With balancing my own 4 year old and 1 year old, I’m too exhausted for that LOL

Happy 4th! New to AZ. Curious of the salary range for a Legal Admin Manager with a national firm, local PHX office. Team size +50. Obviously, lots of factors play into comp. Research shows 110-130k. Does that seem accurate? Thanks in advance!

Currently have 10 years experience in TA last 5 years in management. Moved abroad for a management position this company made senior leadership redundant! Spent around 3 months unemployed and was offered a position around 40% less salary for a Senior Recruiter position so going back to what I had done a few years ago! Took the position because excellent company and also needed to work. Quickly realised this is literally taken a back step in my career - Rest in comments

I'm curious what my expectations should be for a base salary for an HR Generalist position at a plastics injection manufacturer. They are approximately 355+ employees with 4 plants.

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops.

I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules.
