Stupid question, but when applying to jobs in industry..Do they know that applause awards are BS? Thinking about listing it in my accomplishments. But I know they are stupid so I'm torn.

Dying to get out of this place.

Don't list them. They may not know they're BS, but the real estate on your resume could probably be put to better use.

If you have space in resume that's cool but feel free to mention them in the interview. Every company has some sort of internal employee appreciation programs. So I'm sure they'll understand. Or just say you were given best talent in project award or Some kind of twist to that :)

Well now they do!!!!

My company posted a job opening for a management position for my department and I read the job description… it is literally, line by line, a description of what I do now. I asked what the deal was and was told I should apply and that I’m qualified for the position. Should I be pissed that they didn’t ask me if I was interested in that type of position before they put out a job opening for an external candidate?

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary.

Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.
