Our practice is looking to hire a dermatopathologist, and we wanted to know what's a competitive figure for the midwest. Can anyone help?

300k I guess.
300 sounds about right, depending on productivity.
Man I been working west and east coast you offer 300K and people will be running over themselves to take the job...
There's your problem. Go work in the midwest with the OP!
I would think $250k would be more than competitive. But it also depends on the situation and the future of the job. If it's a straight salary position where there is not much opportunity for income growth then it would probably have to be higher. But if it's a partnership track then $200k-$250k is more reasonable.
You are wrong. It's much much more than that.

It depends on the practice. Those numbers are not wrong for some places I know personally. Salary is only one part of the equation so you have to be careful about presuming that a place that starts at "only $250k" is a worse job. I am not dermpath trained but the ones I know have started anywhere from less than $250k to more than $300k. Interestingly, the higher ones are often the jobs that sound less promising in the sense of their long term payoff.
I'm the OP.
We were thinking $250K for this position, just outside Chicago (about half an hour). There is not enough derm work to keep the dermpath occupied full-time, so he would also be signing out general surg path.
The position has great benefits, including paid malpractice and disability insurance, as well as $30K for the 401k (regardless of how much the associate contributes).
Vacation starts at 6 weeks. There is a $10K stipend for conferences, journals, CME, etc.
The applicant would also be eligible for partnership.
So, with benefits, compensation is above $300K for a partnership-track job.
Does that sound pretty reasonable?
