Moderator ventana Posted April 8, 2011 Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2011 where in western ma?? you should PM me If around Pittsfield MASS the hospital system is notorious for lowballing offers - hold firm on the 100k mark - they are loosing the only 2 hospitalist PA's they have and are are not in the position to not hire a few PA's. The benefits are great - but you will work hard and always feel like you are undercompensated and the only time you can make good salary increases in on hiring..... Be very careful to get things in writing so that there will be less confusion in the future and if you work over 40 hours you should get 1.5 times pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
