20+ years as a Nationally Certified Medical Assistant and can say we are definitely being underpaid!! Just interviewed recently and facility doesn't want to pay over 17 an hour, yet they are "building" a new office, basically profiting off labor and low pay-oh, not to mention the benefits just aren't there as well. How do they expect families to live!! I am supposed to be making 41k-57k for my experience-plus 2k-4k in additional pay. Horrible just horrible!!

Yep, that sounds like the healthcare industry. Organizations are fixated on posting profits and cutting costs and they're out to squeeze people as long as they can get away with it. In a bad job market like this, people will accept lowball offers as they don't have many choices. It's not fair, but that's business.

You’re just figuring that out now? This has been going on for years.

Additional Posts in Salaries in Healthcare

Outside of salary, what other things have people negotiated as new hire, I’ve seen more PTO, working from home, sign on bonus, even stock options? How have you negotiated these things especially if you are new to negotiating? Any books or references that gave you a great foundation. I’ve been on my job search from sometime now and getting more interviews, I’m willing to take a pay cut, but wonder what else I can ask for outside of more pay? Thanks
