Job Offer advice

[cho2oo7]

Hello,

I am a new graduate excited about moving to Chicago from MA. I don't really know what is an great offer or not. I am in the mist of signing a 2 year contract for CT surgery; however, I am unsure about the package I am accepting. I was originally offered about 60K and negotiated my salary to 75K. I was then offered $250 for CME and 12 hrs for CME leave. I was able to get $1500 and 40 hrs for CME. I am getting full benefits; health, dental, vision, 401K, and malpractice insurance. Performance reviews only in September (once a year, but last year no one got a raise due to budget reasons).

I generally feel like I am getting the short end of the stick because I am a new graduate and my fellow classmates have better offers in internal medicine (different states-PA & TX). Do you think my salary is good (not great) for a new graduate in CT surgery or should I continue to push for another 5K? I am just worried because I am signing a 2 year contact, so I don't want to be short changed.

Thanks,

You were offered 60K to work probably 70+ hours a week, in a job with an incredibly steep learning curve for the next couple of years, locked in for 2 years and you wonder if you are getting the short end of the stick? Always go with your gut. Even 75K is low-ish - even for a new grad.

...not great! push for 80-85k/yr, 1yr contract (renewable every yr). Negotiate for at least 5-days CME. what's the call schedule like? request to be pay for any thing over required on-call at a hourly rate. What's the norm in your area as per new grad salary? Use that info to re-negotiate.

75K !! for a CT surgery job !!! its worse thand FP new PA !..... The sal for a CT surgery exp PA starts arround 100-110K
i THINK YOU SHOULD AS FOR a start at 85,000K and an increase after training in 6months to a yr. DO NOT sign a 2 yr contract !!! infact never for any job !!!.............
Dont let them push you arround and take advantage since you are a new grad !
all the best !!!

Honestly, that is a horrible package for CT surgery. Two friends that graduated this past year are both working in surgical sub-specialties in OH & NY for around 110k starting out. Both have around 50-60hr work weeks, but also have 5 weeks vacation. They both told me they were offered ridiculously low salaries at the first couple job interviews, but held out for the right job. Don't do screw other PA's around the country by accepting a low-ball offer.

My sister just graduated nursing school and is making 60k a year with a decent benefits package. She's just a basic nurse, nothing special. And they're offering you the same to work in CT surgery?
I hope this doesn't represent the PA job market.
