This is the 15th-ish posting of my NAME job spreadsheet. To remind folk, I just went to the site and jotted down the salaries of the offerings. This does not include perqs like moving expenses, etc, so you need to look yourself. Some ads just have \u201cup to\u201d salaries (e.g. \u201cUp to $290,000\u201d) but no lower bound. I just put the same number in both.\u00a0 Same thing for “starting at” salaries.<\/p>\n
This is only for full time FP ads.\u00a0 Fellowship, Lay Coroner, and Investigator ads are rare and not included.\u00a0 Wilmington DE has a part-time FP job that is not in this list.\u00a0 The full time ad is listed.<\/p>\n
For those sites that do not have a posted salary, I put $0. Obviously, that does not mean that the salary is really zero, but it keeps the columns numerical in the Excel speadsheet. The \u201caverage\u201d line does *not* include the zero entries in the calculation.<\/p>\n
The Alberta job is in Canadian dollars.\u00a0 I’m not sure how the currency conversion works, or if the cost of living denominator takes that into account.\u00a0 Caveat emptor.<\/p>\n
Wilmington, DE offers both a full time position and a “casual” position.\u00a0 I don’t know what the latter means, but it’s in hourly rates.\u00a0 I left it like that.<\/p>\n
The Knoxville dollars columns are the posted salaries adjusted to a single cost of living (Knoxville, because I live there).\u00a0 The conversion factors are a bit different than last time.\u00a0 I don’t know if it’s because of the site I use or if Knoxville has gotten that much more expensive (all those New Yorker and Californians moving in have jacked up housing costs).\u00a0 \u00a0The numbers come from bestplaces.com.\u00a0 \u00a0It should be noted that there is fair variability among cost of living places.\u00a0 For instance, in bestplaces.com the factor is 1.09.\u00a0 In another place it is 1.03.\u00a0 I stuck with 1.9 for consistency with the other places in terms of source (i.i. bestplaces,com)<\/p>\n
As always, caveat emptor. I do not guarantee accuracy. Any Chiefs who see an error, feel free to contact me.<\/p>\n
