I’ve been with my school district for 15 years and had an interview for a different district. They offered me a position but only pay 1 year to every 2 you’ve been teaching for. I had to turn it down since it would be a $12,000 pay cut! Only in education you get penalized for trying to make a career change; seems other types of careers; they will pay you more or at least for your experience. We get a slap in the face for our worth..... doesn’t seem right how the system works for us....

What? I’ve never heard of that before. Are the pay scales drastically different or something? If I’m on year 15 here, I’m on year 15 in another district. I moved districts before and they never took me off my current step. There’s no way I’d take a 12,000 pay cut. They’ll just have hire some first year teacher who will work for that. That’s crazy.

I guess I understand going from public to private or state to state—that’s two different systems, but district to district in the same state—that’s the same thing and isn’t something I have ever encountered. I knew that could happen if you switched states.

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
