Seems like that would be on the higher end of the salary range for a CMA. I think the range at the clinic I'm at is $20-$25. But if you feel you deserve more based on your contributions, a discussion with HR is always a good option.

I think it's also important for us to know what your starting rate was. Do you get annual increases? If not, I would evaluate rates in your area and ask for a raise. You certainly have the experience to back up your request.

With 10 years of experience, it's understandable to feel you're not being paid your worth. While $23 an hour might be competitive for some areas, it's important to consider industry standards for your region and specific role. Have you considered discussing your pay with your employer or looking at similar positions to get a clearer benchmark? Sometimes advocating for yourself can lead to the compensation you deserve.

That seems like a really low salary for someone with that much experience. I would definitely start looking for something else and see what kind of offers you can get.

I have been a CMA for 15+ years and within that same range. It is hard to find a company that will pay you more. You may receive the highest pay with an office affiliated with a hospital group.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

likehelpful

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Im currently going through industry change.
Im a pastry cook with 4yrs experience and the average salary start for this position is now at $22/hr here in vegas, especially in the strip. But cooking/baking is not my passion. So im changing into veterinary medicine and im seeing that the starting rate for a vet tech is around $16-18. Why is that?? Why are people in the vet med industry being paid so low?? Something needs to change. Labor of love aint enough for the people in this job.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
