Overall Benefits Rating4★

The 2:1 matching is unbeatable, but it has to be given the non-competitive compensation structure. Two investment firms to choose from.

If you could do it again, would you still become a teacher in today’s climate not just Covid but the whole attack economically and socially. If you yes , Would you choose teach the same thing that you teach now? If No what would you do for a living?

High School Teacher

I need some help cause my renegotiating of contract is coming up and I don’t know what to ask for in pay wise. I’m a teacher for our location in Wayne and I do 8 hours 5 days every other week (10-2 6-10). I’m also the senior bartender/server/and catering manger(basically I’ll cook anything they need me to)for private events for another company my boss owns. Right now my salary is less thank $3k/month and I’m thinking of asking for $4.5k. Am I asking to much or is that reasonable?
