Please feel free to include any questions or thoughts on your mind in this thread on top of the weekly post. 😃 This week’s question is related to celebration, how have you taken time to recognize your scholars during this school year?

Fish, how many years did it take after your MBA to double your pay (in consulting)?

USI folks - Do you know if the Sum assured of the health insurance offered by Deloitte is for per year or total. Context, I am currently at Deloitte US and thinking of requesting a USI transfer because of a serious health issue for one of my parents. Would be really thankful if someone can clarify 1)Will parents existing conditions/treatment (Chemotherapy ) be covered from my day of joining and 2) Will sum assured will reset every year (if yes, then when, January or our FY). Thank you

Quantum computing. Can someone through some light. Best place to learn more on this

Hi Fishes,

Recently, my appraisal cycle got completed. So whenever a recruiter asks about CTC, will I need to add the Gratuity and Insurance and then tell the Total number.

In my company Total CTC = CTC + Gratuity + Insurance.

Please let me know in comments !

Do I need to sell cash sitting in my fidelity core position to be able to use that?

Looking to invest money with a Schwab brokerage to save for a down payment on a home. What ETFs should I invest in?

Sanity check needed. We own a home we paid $280k for, 6 years ago. We've begun to outgrow it and are debating building on vs buying.

Building would probably be $350k, would take about 4 months, and would require us to move out temporarily (likely 50-75% of that time), but then we'd have *exactly* what we want. Buying would cost ~$650k (plus $59k in closing costs to sell and buy).

House is worth $400k if we do nothing; addition would likely double value.

What would you do? Build or buy?

Does anyone recommend a therapist based in NYC? I’ve never seen one before but have been thinking about this idea recently. What is the average cost and how often do you see your therapist?

Serious question: If the police are defunded, what happens when someone breaks into your apartment? Asking because this happened to my neighbor on Wednesday and there was no help provided from NYPD.

Anyone know the best way to get from Lisbon > Faro > Seville > Madrid? I was planning to rent a car but the fees are insane for one way and other country

Hi, I want to learn how to build ETL pipelines with Pyspark and Azure. As right now i have experience in feature engineering only with SQL and Pyspark.

Can anyone suggest anything online from where i can learn and do hands on?@

I'm launching a small PE firm and need advice on structuring equity for early founding team members.

I don't want to give up equity in the firm for several reasons but I do need to incentivize my team.

Should I offer phantom stock or form a subsidiary LLC and issue stock in that but always own the parent co? Or just offer carried interest for deals they each manage?

Anyone interested in teaching automotive technology in an Ohio CTE high school starting in the 2022-2023 school year. I’m retiring and trying to help find my replacement.

Where do you find your CTE community? Is it through this platform, a professional organization, or another avenue?

This summer I will be teaching the two courses required to gain the extension certificate to be a New York State certified Work-based Learning Coordinator. Is there a requirement for additional training to become a WBLC in your location? Is it part of an existing CTE teacher’s responsibility or something else? Do you need a WBLC for your program approval?

Have you used go education or other screen capture software?

What types of credentials does your program offer to scholars?

Hi! I am currently an Early Childhood Teacher, but I am interested in becoming an Early Childhood Education instructor at a technical high school. It will be a big jump from teaching K to teaching high school students but I am really excited about the possibility of working with the next generation of teachers. What are the best things about CTE? What challenges can I expect?

Do you know what a CLNA is? The Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment is a tool for determining CTE Program design/accountability for Perkins V. Who’s responsibility is it in your district? Has it helped at all?

Class size is a big deal, in NY a new piece of legislation was signed to bring down student count per class from 34 to 25 over the next few years. How big are your CTE classes? In NYC, they’re typically about 28 students.

What do you wish policy makers would consult CTE teachers on?

Did you need to do anything special to get your teaching credential as a person of the trades? Do you have to do anything specific for CTE teachers in order to keep/maintain/upgrade your teaching license/certification?

Does your district have a mechanism for certification of an administrator for CTE specifically? Some US states do, others don’t.

If you could automate one thing about your work, what would it be?

When you come back to school, are you expecting any staffing changes? Is that a good or bad thing? Do you think it should be addressed as a message from school administrators?

Have any of you started using a virtualized platform (WVD, AWS, etc.) environment to virtual offer full computer access and specialized software for your scholars regardless of their home device? (Expensive, but very beneficial!)

Does anyone have experience with ACT WorkKey assessments? Do you offer them to your students, and if so, who pays? Are these assessments of any value??

At my school, we’re extremely fortunate to be able to discuss expansion plans. This week’s question is: What is one thing you’d like to get if you had the means (Money, Space, etc.) to get it?
