kit17 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So I have graduation coming up soon, and have recently been offered a job in general surgery. I'm in a state that does not have the best median salary for PA's. The offer is 80k for first 6 months, then 85k for next 6 months, then 90k after 1 year. After 6 months I can begin to collect a bonus of 1% of my supervising physician's net collections which is paid out quarterly. I should also add that they've agreed to pay me a monthly stipend of $1,000/month until graduation, which would total $5,000. They are offering full benefits, $1500 + 1 week off for CMEs, & 10 vacation days (will go up to 15 days after 1 year). It's a very busy job with long hours but I love the physician and love surgery. I learn so much every day. I guess I am just looking for reassurance that this is a respectable offer. I was honestly expecting to start out higher than 80k, but since there is a guaranteed salary raise plus the bonus it seems like a good compromise. Any thoughts?

Administrator rev ronin Posted August 12, 2016 Administrator Share Posted August 12, 2016 Overtime? Call? The problem with promises of future raises is that they assume you're going to actually be around long enough to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetsiren Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I say if you love it, take it. You might be able to have it added that you want your salary re-evaluated at a later date. But, as Rev Ronin says, check on overtime, call, and I would want to know about malpractice, etc. Get it in writing. And, just curious, but why are they going to pay you a stipend for those few months before graduation while you're not even working there? Granted I've not been a PA-C for very long, but I've never heard of anyone doing that aside from a training salary, but that's when you are actually working there and not while you're still in school.....

Because for 5K he/she will work for them for 80K with "long hours" and 10 days of PTO... ain't that a sweet deal for those docs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGirl Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Counter with $90k plus 5 personal days to the 10 vacay days. I bet they will go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
