Wishing everyone a good year….going on my 17th year and I would like to say it gets easier but I feel like a new teacher every-time. Stay consistent, know yourself, and remember you matter. So take that break/ day off when needed!

Best wishes for everyone! This will be, at least, an interesting year. I agree so much with California Middle School 1 (btw, I started in CA): so much in education has changed … and it never seems to get easier. The pendulum swings in multiple dimensions.

This will be my 30th year. So much has changed…the curriculum, the basic family structure, the push to politically indoctrinate instead of teaching independent critical thinking… One thing that has not changed is that the people who make the majority of decisions are the people who have not been in a classroom teaching for 10 to 20 years. Thankfully students are you still wanting to learn and there’s still a lot of happiness that I get out of teaching. Have a great year everyone!

WHS 1 congrats for staying in this profession for that amount of time. I started at 22, and just keep going. You cannot retire until 45 years of teaching or age 65? I can retiree from the profession at 35 years but I’ll only be 57 … but depending where I am financially, ( my son will be in college) I may stay longer, but I think I’ll do something else. I admire your dedication. 👏👏😀

That’s one thing I really don’t like about teaching. Our retirement is very aged discriminatory. Someone can work less than years than I but we save more and retirement if that person happens to be older when he or she retires. Also even though I worked enough before teaching to earn Social Security, I’m more or less disqualified from it or from survivors benefits because I’m a teacher. Where is the equity in that?

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep.

Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.

I'm holding an offer for 26LPA with 8.5 YOE with product based company.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way. They push us to turn a document quickly (in this case, an LPA for a new fund), and then take weeks to review, following up with a 50-page chart setting forth the LPA sections and detailed questions/comments. I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
