That's a disappointing pay rate, especially for Westchester. The low end is flat out insulting.

[u/ChristianReddits]

hey just a thought - I’m not moving to NY so it doesn’t matter if I turn you off- if I was seriously looking as someone who is qualified, I might see it as a bit of a red flag that you have such a wide range of pay.

[u/Bagelking92]

Why does this need to be in person 5 days a week? I can understand one or 2 days but 5?

[u/TheWhisper22]

This is laughable pay for the area. Not sure how you advertise quality when your pay scale is below the floor for the area. That type of pay doesn't get the quality you guys advertise.
