^ Yeah, im having a hard time...think that the same salary will fall very short in Cali...and I hear the hours are really not that much better...travel would be the only plus...but i think i like consulting too much :)

Yup, SF...which will definitely be more expensive...lol well I called it Cali, you can tell I dont live there ;)

F. No. living in Ca is not that great. Yes, they have farmers markets, a lot of diversity, great working perks, fantastic weather, awesome scenery, amazing food trucks, SF & LA, but it's expensive as ffffffffffffffff (yes I would. I totally would.)

If you're sick of traveling then go for it...i would consider it.

Yes

I'm assuming by "Cali" you mean SF? LA actually isn't that pricy (depending on where you live), SF rent is crazy expensive - it will definitely give you sticker shock if you're not used to NY-level prices

Lol @A3 too true

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II. No plans to add a level 1 (would be lower) specialist but will add level 1 engagement specialist to team. Should I update resume/cards or is this confusing?

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?
