What is your biggest concern when looking for a job, other than salary? I think culture is really important

I agree that company culture is important, but it's something that can usually only be known in broad strokes when you're observing it from outside. Some places do have a reputation that's widespread, but for the most part you really have to work somewhere to fully understand the culture. A main thing I try to know about is what the work/life balance is like, and you can usually get a pretty good idea just from doing some research and networking.

Work life balance and how management is. I am BIG on boundaries and not taking any work calls or emails before/after hours (unless a true emergency or pre-planned). So I look for companies that can respect that. I also don't want to miss any of my kids sports games so I often leave early to make them. I always make sure to get my work done so if a company can respect my boundaries and not micromanage it would be ideal.

The benefits are really important to me. I'm currently pregnant and seeking a job that offers the benefits I'll need for my new family. Healthcare, time off, and maternity leave. It's all incredibly important, and I never realized it until recently.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?
