This week, I got the following question in an email from a recruiter, "What is your salary expectation?'' which sent me down a path to figure out what is the salary range for corporate ID as well as how to answer that question. Below are links to some of the resources I mentioned in the episode.

Hi Everyone, My name is Erica Zimmer and I am starting this new podcast called The Learning Journal from Teach to LXD to share my journey as I try to transition from K12 to Freelance ID. I have been wanting to take this leap for a long time and with COVID and the start of in-person school on the Horizon for the fall, I have been working harder than ever to make this transition. I will be sharing not only my successes by my failures as well. So I hope you join me on this journey, and hopefully, someday I’ll share with you that I did it.
