@6znt+1s4Tb0Qx this made me laugh because it's so true. Pretty sure there's been a 90% decline in productivity just because the constant whiplash. It's so bad that's it's just laughable at this point

Wow the discrepancy across the board is crazy. I shouldn’t be surprised though. I’m a marketing manager, been here a year and change and make $91k. This is the most bat sh-t crazy company I’ve ever worked for. I’ve never seen a company this large that is this much of a hot mess. Literal wtf every day from the moment I was hired.

A Slack channel has been created to discuss compensation: #social-compensation

That channel has links to a "pseudo-anonymous" survey and a spreadsheet with the results.

Post ID: @ari+1s4Tb0Qx For the record an on campus admissions counselor would not do have the responsibilities and have to dial 100 plus calls a day chasing after students to enroll. This job is a sales job and we should get paid accordingly.

Less concerned about wanting a “considerable raise” and more concerned with the pay discrepancies among peers in the same role.

OP here. I came over from admissions as an SSA II at the time and was making more than the Senior SSA on my team. This person had to go fight and advocate for themselves to get a bump and still made slightly less than me despite having a higher title.

I also agree with the other comment stating true transparency involves sharing ethnicity in addition to salary. I am a white woman. My colleague who had to fight to get still less than me was a black woman.

I would love to see the overlap between people wanting a considerable raise while also complaining about the cost of higher education tuition in their social justice woke circles.

On campus positions in my area do pay more than what we’re paid here. My job responsibilities as a Sr AC are equivalent to an assistant director of admissions position at most universities, of which the starting pay is around 80-90k. The only reason I’m still here is that these openings will either come and go very quickly because they’re hiring internally, or the interview process will stall for many months.

Just go look at the pay for on-campus admission and advising jobs… most of you (if you’re making anything above 60k) will be realize how much more you are paid here than you would going into an office on campus. If you want a bigger check look to move out of the higher education sector completely. Perspective has been lost with most of the people left at 2U.

I was at 70k when I was canned. I started at 50K during the early glory days of 2tor. But they manipulated my leads and moved me and have my leads aways so I could dial and they could let me go. This was a decade back. I was a normal Admissions counselor and that's what it was called back then.

We’re all paid under market value without a doubt. Also, why is Adam Drudge still here? People is the least of his concerns. Very scripted and pretentious fellow.
