[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Competitive pay” is a standard term for many job postings (all of those in my industry, for example, where mid-career pros make $150-200k).  It also recognizes that the definition of “competitive” changes over time— as demand for pod teachers increases, prices will increase.

Do what you want with your time but I wouldn’t dismiss those posting “competitive pay” out of hand.  Signed, someone who hasn’t hired a pod teacher but did hire a nanny with “competitive pay” four years ago (and have continued to pay competitive rates)[/quote]

But why would you have to wait until "time of hire" to reveal what that "competitive pay" is?
There are typically multiple steps in between "parents place an ad" and "parents hire nanny"--including time consuming in person interviews.   Why waste everyone's time if the parents idea of "competitive pay" is $16/hr and the nanny's idea of competitive pay is $30/hr?[/quote]

You are allowed to bring it up whenever you want to.  You can write a response to the ad saying “I am very interested in this position.  My credentials are x.  My usual pay is $xy.”  
Then if parents don’t want to offer that, you don’t get beyond the first email.  [/quote]
