I have been teaching high school English for about ten years. My total comp (including pension matching, cost of employer healthcare contributions, etc) is about 52k.

Money isn’t the reason I will be transitioning into a different career after this school year, but I have friends and contacts floating opportunities that would offer me an immediate 50-80 percent bump.

My wife and I have been saving aggressively to allow for a patient, intentional transition. I don’t expect my next career to feed my values to the same extent, but I am excited to open a new door.

Edit: if you work in Product and would be willing to do a brief informational interview, please reach out. My email is in profile.
