What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Shtark Tank’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I'll just say that I was actually shocked at one point to speak to one of my Rebbeim from Kerem B'Yavneh who lived a very simple life and I really much like looked up to him as someone like lived with a posture that was with a lot of emunah and then a lot of kedusha and a lot of Torah and I like asked him like like what does it cost to have a family and he threw out a number for one of his kids and he doesn't even pay rent cuz Kerem B'Yavneh has free rent for the Rebbeim and I was shocked. I was shocked at how much it was and I have no idea honestly how he covers it but I think it's important to have real conversations with people who are really doing it and ask them if if you know if it's if what's what's sustainable and what's not. We spoke to a recruiter who what's not. We spoke to a recruiter who came very highly recommended from people who I really trust and I told her this cheshbon of maybe a role with this amount of hours and this amount of salary and she actually laughed in my face which was a bit of a humiliating experience but I didn't take it I didn't take it too hard and I kept my head up and I ended up finding a role that not only had the hours that I was looking for to to support my learning but it also was 50% more than the salary that I had told her that I was going to try to make within that role.
