Depends where in each state. In Pittsburgh I was at $42/hr in 2009. Philly, I'm at over $60/hr.

I moved from Philly to the Bay Area for my current job. Salary went up from 104k to 116k a year. Now I make a little over 120k. My salary is below market for the area, but there are benefits that make up for it. From what I've heard, typical salary here is about 130k. Not sure about SoCal.

$67-$80/hr SF Bay Area inpatient/hospital depending on benefits package/other factors.

Best guess $63-$70 for San Diego inpatient/hospital, but others can confirm more solid numbers.

I find that salary.com is typically in the ballpark, at least where I'm from in Ohio.

You have to use "Clinical Pharmacist" so it doesn't bunch in retail numbers.

San Diego, CA $117,xxx (50% percentile)

Philadelphia, PA $116,xxx (50% percentile)

Pittsburgh, PA $106,xxx (50% percentile)

PS: To confetti--- we all wish we had those Kaiser jobs out in the Bay Area.

Edit: Sorry thought we were talking about Hospital only. Use "Pharmacist - Retail" for the retail numbers. You'll notice a BIG bump for the PA numbers.

It's a friend from school, I'm assuming he gets paid his hourly wage, plus 56 cents a mile like I do when traveling. I figured his salary is a little low because the saturation of PA.

Salary.com and glassdoor.com are just okay, I find they underestimate or are incomplete. That figure for San Diego looks too low, it's more like $130k. $117k is like $56/hr which was sortof the going rate in 2006-2007 for Orange County (OC and SD have similar salaries).

Yeah good thing I don't work for Kaiser....and Kaiser in Southern California pays more, I omit them from my "this is the general salary" posts because they're so out of the norm. The salaries for Kaiser Northern California are more in line with other health systems.
