Dlenoci Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The base salary seems very low, especially for the NE, which tends to have higher salaries. In particular, a friend of mine solidified an Ortho position with similar time spread, in the same general area for a base of 100k with full benefits and no call (New-grad). If its a position you've been longing for, then I would negotiate. Many practices or groups try to take advantage of new grads. Don't sell yourself short! Include higher base, clarity on call expectations, what the bonus/raise structure entails, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
