Re: OK LIW GIRLS I NEED HELP

it depends on how much experience you have...and where the office is located, do you get health insurance....

Good luck!!! I would say that $50-$55k would be reasonable. Most of the office managers that I have worked with in the LI area have made around that amount.

it really depends, can range greatly. I know managers in the city who make about $60-70k. But depends alot on location and the type of business and how big it is. If its a smaller office then they will pay less and obviously more for large corporations.

IMO i think that the above posts are a lot of money for a doctors office, if it is on long island at least......

yeah i agree. I know in LI they do pay less, usually outside of the city period you do see a big difference in salary, not always but often.

Not sure about a doctors office, the managers i know are managers at large corporations in the city so thats why they can make a good salary.

Hopefully someone who has experience at a doctors office can answer this for you. But maybe in the 40's would be good

how about looking on craigslist for similar postings and positions to see what they generally make. Just to give you somewhat of an idea, maybe try monster.com too

you can maybe even google, doctors office manager salary in LI and see what comes up.

I just found out on www.cbsalary.com that the average office manager salary on Long Island is 54K. But, that site allows you to do a salary calculation using different variables. I would use that and print what you find.

From an HR perspective you should not take or present an amount less than what you are making minus bonus.

Unless they are offering other perks... for example they pay for your medical.....

They should or will ask what your comp was previously so they could make an offer in line with that.

Hope that helps a little

Just remember, if you say negotiable, they will assume they can talk you down...It's definitely a tough situation!!

I have also seen the salary estimator on Monster and Career Builder...

Anyway, good luck, and remember, everything happens for a reason! I truly believe we end up exactly where we're supposed to be!!

I wouldnt' worry if your shooting to high. If they want you they will lay it out on the table no matter how much you ask for. Then it will be up to you to decide whether to take it or not!
