I just graduated in May, and I've been applying to healthcare tech jobs for about six weeks now. Most applications ask me for a desired salary before I even get to talk to anyone, and I have no idea what to put since I have the degree but very little experience. How did you guys handle this when you were first starting out?

Do your best to do research first. Attempt to find out what your job position should be paying you to start. (Chat GTP might help with that) Find a good mid range number and go from there. You could say “Somewhere between this and that”… give a range you are willing to accept.

When I was starting out, I researched average salaries for entry level roles. It helped to give me a ballpark figure. You might also consider giving a range to stay flexible. Best of luck with your applications!

Any advice on renegotiating my salary? I’m a compounding pharmacist and i also float to other stores while also being solely responsible for the compounding pharmacy. I perform MTMs for 6 or so stores and am now a being asked to other projects. I originally signed on to only do compounding and occasionally fill in at other stores when needed. I have another offer from a hospital that is significantly higher than what i am being paid now. Would just like some pointers on this kind of conversation
