Raises are typically 3-6%, but every few years it can be double that without a promotion. 10% bonus.
Raise was going to be 5.25%. I countered w inflation & salaries of comparable jobs (higher than avg). After lots of back & forth, ended up with a total increase of 21%! No change in duties.

It is part of your compensation!
Favorite time of the year because work slows down. Haven’t looked at the exact number of days yet but believe I have enough left to take the final 2 weeks completely off. Plus the first 2 Fridays. Then some sporadic full/half days depending on what I have left.

And/or make that limit be per child instead of per family.
$5k does not go far for childcare in most of the country, especially if you have multiple kids.
We paid a bit over $30k last year for 2 kids, which is on the low end for our area thanks to a corporate discount through my employer.

Anything I should know? Looks easy enough.
Thinking about moving over to jawns.club server which is #philly based. Don’t see anything for my immediate area. I’m in south Jersey, 15 minutes over the Walt Whitman bridge, went to college in Philly, wife works there, & over there a lot. So think that’d get me the most local content/ people. 🤔
