Freckle and Duolingo

like

I loved Freckle!! Our district used it last spring but ended up not renewing it this year. 😔

And Duolingo is great for basic language acquisition lessons. I use it myself, too, to try to learn short phrases in my students' native languages. (For some languages I do more, but some are just extremely challenging to learn.) They get really excited when they hear me use them and so graciously correct me when I get it wrong.

Anyone willing to share their experience at broadhead? Considering a position there and would love to hear positives and negatives.

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.
