    },
    {
      "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?",

      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this Chess Coach listing is usually welcome."

    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "Most permanent teaching roles in Indian K-12 schools are open-ended after a 3–6 month probation. The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria."

    {
      "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at St. Jude's Public School & Junior College?",

      "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Chess Coach roles in Coimbatore. As a rough anchor, city tier and board affiliation move the number by 20-40% — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top, state-board privates at the base."
