Have you tried looking at other firms? Hopping is a good way to get a pay boost if you like what you do. I jumped firms as an A2 and make 80k base.

Great point, I have to start looking

Going back to school will not increase your salary. If you want to stay in accounting you already have the credentials you need. Even if you jump ship they aren’t going to give you 120-k on a promotion year. If they do they will eventually level you out.

if you're a top performer, give those reviews to a recruiter and jump ship for a nice raise.

Thank you so much... I will try LinkedIn for recruitee

Jumping to a different firm will give you a temporary bump but it's going to level back out to the market. If you give yourself a few years, you'll get there a while lot faster than going back to school.

I am up for promotion. I feel like I should be doing way more. I am in assurance. I am even willing to go back school

Ride it out another year or two, get your mba at a top 25 program (ie Emory)

I already have an MBA. It doesn’t really serve me in my line of duties.

have you tried asking for a higher salary?

I did. They said they will look into it and until now nothing

I work at st Christopher’s hospital for children in Philadelphia PA. And RD starting salary is $61,000. I think this is very poor for having a specialty and going thru 5-8 years of schooling with 3.5 years experience. The hospital also did not give the clinical nutrition department a bonus because we aren’t considered direct patient care?? We are 100% direct patient care on the floors and every unit. Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?
