Hi! I’m transitioning into video editing from healthcare and currently in an internship with a small research/strategy firm that does work for big, generally well known companies. I may be able to go full time with them soon (as an editor, not assistant). What would be a good number to open salary negotiation with? I’m making 83k in healthcare, live in DC, and in my early 30s- so I’m hoping to not get low balled like younger entry level folks with less responsibilities might.

I work as an editor in news and DC is a top market. Be clear on your salary expectations on terms of coast of living along with experience (within the field you are applying to). Being that you are transitioning into a new field also expect to take a slight pay cut. As an editor just starting off I’d suggest thinking about around 70k as an idea.

I think what you're asking for is reasonable, I would definitely recommend holding your ground on it

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
