I love this, and actually said it yesterday to my company's co founder as someone who also just "broke in" to ed tech.

Shifting perspective and recognizing the experience you bring as an educator is so important! It allowed me to peruse ed-tech companies that valued my teaching background and avoid those that didn't.

Not to mention, teaching is hard... I've literally put out fires and broken up fights before guiding guiding students back to a learning objective. If you can teach successfully, you can probably be successful in any other role.
