What is a fair salary for someone who has 3yrs case management, hospital experience, and a LMSW? I’m getting a lot of low ball offers, and feel like I deserve more between the 60-65 salary range.

I'd say $60k would probably be the most you could go. Ask for $70k or $65k, though, so you'll have some room for negotiation.

That's about right I would say, you could try about $70k but LSW don't get paid that great, unfortunately even though we work so hard.

I think you have to unfortunately, there's a lot of resistance to raising salaries in these kind of roles

definitely between 60-65 should NOT be asking too much! I have my Bachelor's and 6 years experience and i make 54k.

$75

Absolutely. Dont sell yourself short. In NYC at my job starting this year social workers start at $72 with no prior SW experience and $75 with 2.5 yrs of experience. Always ask for more. It doesnt hurt to negotiate and advocate for yourself. This field is definitely underpaid but it doesnt mean you cant be assertive and ask what you deserve!

Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

Additional Posts in Social Workers & Therapists

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
