ISO real-life salary ranges for Release of Information/Medical Records Compliance in the Northeast Texas area, think more Longview/Tyler than Dallas/Fort Worth. I was recently offered a position at $19/hr but found after researching that as a single income home with a teenager this rate could not support rent, unless the rental was in an area not so safe area.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I mean this is a problem for a lot of people working wage jobs. It's simply not enough income to pay rent in most bigger cities. I'm curious, you say that you did research on this, but does it match what your take home pay and rent costs actually are? I wouldn't just go off averages, I would do the math on your own situation.

Luckily, the area where I was offered the job has a cost of living pretty much the same as where I live now. Utilities and groceries were about the same according to the websites I've been using to compare different places that interest me. Phone bill, insurance, and car payment stay the same, so it basically came down to rent. I searched several sites like Zillow, Trulia, Rent.com, FB, etc. and rates were higher for the same basic 2br/2ba.

I'm curious as to why you find it curious that I said I did research on this. I had to research what rent costs actually are in the area to know that $19/hr minus pre-tax, post-tax, Medicare, FICA and insurance wouldn't leave enough left over for rent in the area. I didn't just ask Siri, lol!

But in all honesty, I did NOT dig too deeply into whether the different rate would change my tax bracket or how much insurance would cost through the company. With reference to insurance, I doubt they could have come close to what I have. I work for Blue Cross and only pay for my dependents, but it's a paltry sum. I can safely say it would be hard to beat my insurance situation.

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
