[quote=Anonymous]I hold a similar position at an independent school in the greater area and make more than that. There isn’t a chance I’d EVER take the job at Sidwell for those wages. It’s a set-up for financial struggle AND failure. The parents’ expectations would be impossibly high. A surprisingly high number of families outsource this job to a private counselor anyway, because many can afford it and recognize that whoever holds the in-school position tends to be pretty green. In my opinion, the priority for these jobs should be hiring someone who can write a good letter of recommendation, who knows the admissions process inside out, and who has enough charm and hustle to advocate for a waitlisted kid or talk a crazy parent off the ledge. I’d want far more than 50K for the pleasure.[/quote]
