      "a": "Refer to the on-page \"Salary snapshot\" for the current market band. Broadly, Chess Coach pay in Dehradun rises with years of experience, board (IB > CBSE > state), and school size — the linked full pay report breaks these out further."

    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role."

      "q": "What's the interview process like for this teaching role?",
      "a": "Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management."
