What other professions have teachers left to pursue? I feel lost and confused figuring out what comes next/how to find jobs outside education.

I had a website that helped me get my resume ready for jobs outside of teaching. I had 20 years of teaching but knew I could not do it anymore. I then put my resume on Indeed and just started applying to every job that was outside of teaching it took 3 months but I found a job that pays more than teaching and is 100% less stressful. I’m so happier now. I can’t tell you how good it feels not to have to go back this school year.

SC to M, promotion in CBO.

I was promoted to SC in Aug 2020, and milestone year shows 2024 (4 years).

Is this normal I thought SC-M was 3 years and 2 for an early promo.

Can anyone suggest if it's even possible to try to get promoted in 2 years? Just don't want to put in extra effort and getting disappointed later.

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
