I'm currently studying to become a veterinarian. Without doxing yourselves, what's your salary or benefits package? What's the cost of living in your area, and what should I expect in this regard?

On average, veterinarians earn a salary of around $90,000 annually, although this can vary depending on the area and type of practice. Many employers offer additional benefits such as health insurance coverage, retirement plan contributions, paid vacation time, and even loan repayment assistance. In addition to financial compensation, vets also gain intangible rewards from helping animals and their owners

In terms of salary, it really depends on the individual's years of experience and the geographic area they are working in. Generally speaking, salaries are quite competitive and cost of living varies depending on the location. Here in my area, I'm seeing salaries in the upper $50K to low $100K range with benefits packages that include health insurance coverage, 401k plans, paid time off and other perks.

Generally, most veterinarians report an average salary of around $84,000 per year. Depending on your particular area and employer, you may be able to negotiate for a higher salary or additional benefits.

I'm making $75k with 3 yoe. It's reasonable since I am at a small-sized clinic in a low-cost city.

I earn at least $100k a year. I work at a large clinic with 8 yoe. I'm in a LCOL city so I think this is more than enough for me.

3 different doctors, same clinic. 250 - 450k (salary + production). They work 2 weeks on and 10 days off, emergency only hospital. Generous benefits package, in LCOL small city. Doctors work solo and cut all emergencies (no close referral hospitals).

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.
