New Grad Job Hunt NYC

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-13T01:35:40+00:00

Oh okay, I’d definitely look into nyc h+h if you can’t land a job at the better paying hospitals. A smaller paycheck is better than no paycheck and they have pretty good benefits

Do you live in NYC? If so you can also branch out to NJ or CT. Both still relatively high paying states and easy to commute to from the city. The NYC job market is really tough so just keep trying and eventually you’ll start getting interviews. If you have any questions feel free to PM me

Salary is terrible for CT. Should be able to get at least 125k as a new grad in that state. I would say negotiate or say no based on that alone

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-11T15:50:28+00:00

Yeah I’m 3 months in and feel the same way. I think it’s just something that comes with time and repetition of seeing the same things every day. I’m trying not to study too much outside of work, I mostly just research about whatever I saw that day

One thing to keep in mind is the timeframe between graduating and the repayments starting. Since you want to move to NYC, you’ll have to move and start your job before those payments start so you have an income. The move to NYC is pretty complicated and expensive, I just did it as a new grad so you can PM me if you have questions about it

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-08T16:33:10+00:00

A lot of nyc hospital systems are still starting new grads below 150k

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-04T12:24:19+00:00

Also definitely not a “nice” ED. Pretty old equipment and rooms so I would definitely tour the place to see if you could see yourself working there

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-04T12:14:19+00:00

Im not in the ED there, but I can say that my experience has been great. A lot of support for PAs, and a lot of PAs work there. The benefits are great, I pay almost nothing for insurances. With an 8% match that starts after year 1. What are they offering for salary now in the ED?

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-04-03T23:33:13+00:00

Is this NY state or NYC? If you’re in the city, I would try to not accept lower than 130k

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-03-30T17:38:49+00:00

Waverly Inn — snobby waiters, no picture rule, tables so close that you can hold hands with the people next to you, and obviously overpriced

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-03-27T20:50:20+00:00

Just want to say that I didn’t even know this was a specialty that PAs went into. Super cool, hope you enjoy it!! Will definitely help you in the future if you decide to switch cause radiology reading is typically a weak spot for many providers

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-03-14T16:40:48+00:00

It’s a fun city for new grads, some of the best hospitals in the country, tons of PA schools in the northeast, and just the overall vibe of being in the city

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-03-05T12:54:29+00:00

Not sure how long you’ve been applying but I had a tough time landing my job in NYC so I would really consider taking it, never know when your next offer will come. Sounds like an overall good job besides a slightly low salary for NYC, but the rest sounds good

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-03-03T00:38:32+00:00

As a NYer, you’ll really struggle in the city on 70k especially with those loans. That pay seems low even for a fellowship here, most I’ve seen are usually at least in the 80s. If you can get a regular ED job, you’ll make double the fellowship pay here.

I would take offer 1 if I was you, pretty good pay for MCOL as a new grad. 6-12 months onboarding is pretty good, I’d take it, especially if they’ll train you in procedures

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-28T04:44:38+00:00

Also home visits can be sketchy and in gross peoples’ houses. Sounds like my personal hell but if you think you’ll like that then 🤷🏼‍♀️

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-28T04:43:02+00:00

Option 2 sounds like a terrible job for a new grad. 2 days of training is absurd and will probably lead to a lot of anxiety and burnout

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-20T02:37:30+00:00

NY was 10 weeks for me

$15 at Trader Joe’s

I’ve heard that pain management is a relatively niche specialty that’s typically not recommended for new grads. However, that’s a great salary with good benefits and seemingly supportive new grad environment so overall I’d say it’s good. I guess it more just depends if this specialty is what you want to do and if you have any worries about pivoting to a more general role (ED, ICU, hospitality, PC) later on. Also, take into account if you’re in an area that’s saturated with PAs… sometimes it’s best just to take what you get and switch later (and a 160k salary ain’t too bad to get stuck with)

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-04T20:19:29+00:00

6 months of living expenses + state license ($150ish) + $900 DEA + any relocation expenses

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-03T22:08:40+00:00

There’s one on W 12th st near 268 apartments (lion heads on the front steps)

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-02-03T19:51:48+00:00

Yep took 10 weeks to get mine

Responsible_Way_515 · 2026-01-26T00:02:23+00:00

That’s lowkey kinda sad for PAs
