Why I Built Wondering Staffroom — And How You Can Help Shape It

When I first started working on Wondering Staffroom, the goal was simple: Create a free, anonymous, and genuinely helpful tool for teachers around the world to share and compare salary packages.
Too often, salary transparency — especially in international teaching — is hidden behind paywalls, private groups, or unreliable word-of-mouth. I wanted to change that, by building something open and community-driven.
Today, I'm thrilled to share that we've passed over 140 real salary submissions! 🎉 It’s been amazing to see the community come together to help teachers make better, more informed career decisions.
But we're just getting started. The more submissions we collect, the more powerful the tool becomes for everyone. If you haven't yet, I'd love for you to consider anonymously sharing your own salary package — it only takes a minute and could make a real difference for another teacher out there.
And if you’ve already submitted: thank you! You’re helping to build a fairer, more transparent future for international teachers everywhere.
More updates, trends, and news will be coming soon — stay tuned! Thanks for being part of Wondering Staffroom. 🌎
