Hello Everybody. First, let me say I have gotten a lot of good advice from this board in the past few years.

I found this very interesting in regard to a study done that shows the American worker has no idea the disparity between his salary and his CEO's salary. This is from the The Boston Globe on 04/28/2014:What does it take to become the most overpaid executive in Massachusetts? Or, more to the point, how much does it take?The answer is a little bit north of $29 million. Thatâ��s how much the Burlington speech recognition company Nuance Communications Inc. paid its chief executive, Paul ...

On the Advance for HIM web site there is a salary survey from 2014. On the graph of average salaries, MTs were the lowest (even below billers) with average salary of just over 29,000. Coders made over 49,000. Pretty interesting ...

I do medical transcription for a local specialty practice. They are transitioning to EHR and gave notice to their MTs that they would be cutting back on their MT needs starting next week. Today, the office mgr. called and asked if I would be interested in a Scribe position. In short, I am. The manager would like to learn my salary requirements.

I am looking for work and notice some companies ask for a salary history. I feel uncomfortable about this, not sure why, but I think it is to their advantage to know this info, not mine.

I am not even sure if I have that info on some of my companies. Why do they want this info? ...

I was thinking of finding a course to take medical coding and wanted an at-home position in this field. Can someone please tell me an average pay that I would expect to make?

I see a lot of courses claiming that starting salary can be anywhere from $25-$40K per year. I used to work as a word processor years ago and I still type 80+wpm, so I think I'd be good at this job. So what is realistic to expect in the first year as far as salary? ...

I've been sending out resumes and cover letters as much as I can and reading lots of forums trying to get a feel for what to look for in a good company. Can the experienced MTs share their knowledge/wisdom on what to look for in a new employer? What is a good starting rate? What are some questions to ask of a potential employer? What should we stear clear of? I've been reading the company boards and find that there seem to be more negative responses/comments on so many companies, the ...

I have been with my current company for a number of years, but due to a number of changes that have been instituted in just the last few years, I have realized about a 37% reduction in income, at the same time that I am considered "one of their best," and am back to my income level of the early 1990s. I see foreclosure looming. That VR/SR has become the majority of the work is the largest factor in this drop. Are there MTs who are working for companies with little or no VR ...
