This is the sixth (I think) of the every-few-weeks-or-so formatting of the NAME job list (https:\/\/www.thename.org\/job-openings) as a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

As before:<\/p>\n

I do not guarantee accuracy. I took a quick look at each ad. I may have missed something or misread something. You get what you pay for.<\/p>\n

Some places did hourly wages. I calculated the yearly rate on 40 hrs a week, 50 weeks a year. YMMV<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t go into depth with perqs. There\u2019s a lot of variation, and they can be important.<\/p>\n

I’m not rechecking continued listings to see if they’ve changed anything (like salary).\u00a0 If you are a Chief and you’ve increased your salary, let me know and I’ll change it.<\/p>\n

I normalized the salaries to \u201cKnoxville Dollars\u201d (KD) because that\u2019s where I live. In other words, a salary of $304,865 in San Diego is the equivalent of $181,273 in Knoxville. The \u201clocation cost\u201d number is the normalization factor. A lot of folk don\u2019t think about the cost of living. I use a random cost of living app on the web.\u00a0 \u00a0There\u2019s a fair amount of variation on how costs are weighted, so do your own homework. I am now using Grok 4 to look these up, so I don’t even know what websites are used. It also inverted the factors, e.g. when I wrote 0.5, it now writes 2.0.\u00a0 The result is the same…<\/p>\n

Some offices have better facilities than others \u2014 CTs, Neuropath support, etc. I didn\u2019t deal with that.<\/p>\n

Some places had \u201cup to xxx\u201d in their salary but no base, I just put the same number in both upper and lower columns.<\/p>\n

The difference between lower salary and higher salary is a difference in starting salary (e.g. with our without board certification or experience) for others it\u2019s starting versus being there awhile. It was hard to tell the difference, sometimes. Look for yourself.<\/p>\n

I was very disappointed to see that so few offices listed the workload. That was a big issue back in 2020 when I did this last. It should be important now, as well.<\/p>\n

The sheet is sorted by max raw salary rather than date.<\/p>\n

Note that the table scrolls horizontally
