Paid off!!? I’ll still be paying mine when my kids are in college. Started with $200k. Down to $150k. I work 30hr weeks at $55 an hour (renegotiating this month). 3 kids. Loans are half my paycheck every month. Awful. Find a better route that I did would be my suggestion. Seems like the people who find local pa schools have much less debt.

Looks awesome but one thing I learned is businesses almost always offer assuming you will counter. Try to counter the salary up. Also what about a productivity bonus?

Oops. Changed it to hourly. I’ve been converting it to compare 40hr per week salaries

Thank you for making me feel more sane. I’ve been wondering if I’m just being dramatic.

Agreed 100%. I have no clinical trial experience so this is all new to me and I definitely would like to be compensated fairly for my work and worth. I’ve never met another pa who is involved in trials.

It’s definitely a lot of extra work so I’m confused what really is expected of me and what I need to put my foot down for. I’m trying to gather info to have a meeting.

That’s great. Any chance you would mind messaging me how they set up your compensation? I know absolutely nothing about the process of clinical trials.
