If your goal is to launch a startup one day you would be better served working for a startup vs a consulting firm.

Can someone please share Senior Associate salary for 2.5 yrs experienced. I feel like I've been lowballed by them.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Has anyone else noticed this?
