Anyone here ever struggled working at a private practice during your first year as a licensed counselor? I work well with the clients but I find it difficult to accept the pay I receive for the amount of work I do and is required. Lately, I realize I haven’t been putting in much effort towards paperwork because of the pay I receive.

Yes! I did this for two years when I was starting out...I calculated it out...between hours worked for notes, reports, admin...and the clients I'd see...I was making barely 22 dollars an hour! As I worked there they increased my pay...but it came out to about 27 dollars an hour...and that was me seeing 5-6 clients per day, and working way too much. I left and went to a treatment centre where I see far less clients, there's more reports and paper work...but I get paid for those hours, not just client hours...and they started me out at 40 an hour. I work 40 hours, and I see, maximum, 4 clients per day. Another option is just doing your own private practice. It brings such better pay, and not that much extra work. I find working for a private practice is beneficial to get those supervision hours...once that's done, it's not worth it...IMO.

3- is it legal that company requires a mandatory schedule, when you're in "contract"?

This is for a Business Analyst position.
Thanks!

I got to ask. I had my recruiter phone screening and can’t seem to figure out a couple of things.
1. Applied for 2posts. Said Under Consideration for one but was interviewed for a different role. Is this normal?
2. The interviewer didn’t seem much interested to speak to me. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Overall it went average, but I’d like to know if I could reach out this recruiter asking about the application status issue on the job portal!
Thoughts?
