@OP, if you’re slightly concerned, it’s usually for a good reason. I went into industry for a very similar role half a year ago and I’m on my way back to consulting right now. It may not be the same for you but for me I found the work to be incredibly boring and slow, with people who are generally resistant to change or to making progress.

I know the feeling of itching to leave, but just be really careful.

Thanks H1. The culture will be fine, just more concerned about he type of work, potential exit opportunities, if I go in and hate it, and career / pay trajectory for a role like that. These are things that they will try oversell so I need to do my own DD.

EY1 - are you in the chicago area? Hope I’m not being interviewed to take the role you’re leaving lol?

I’m thinking about moving up to a high school English position from 8th grade English. Mainly I’m looking for a change. Any thoughts on the differences I’d be facing?

I have high school children of my own, but disciplining high schoolers has always intimidated me for some reason. I have excellent classroom management, but I feel like high schoolers are a little smarter ab getting around rules and less worried about consequences.

I’m told by an hs tchr that the grading load is ab the same.
