Do any recent graduates from fellowship have a ballpark range on what people are offering or what they asked for when negotiating. My question is more for those who have elected to do 100% dermatopathology slide sign out (case load around 75-100 a day).

A back-of-the-napkin formula is:
(per cpt reimbursement) x (volume) x (your negotiating strength coefficient) = offer.
However you are doing it wrong.
First, ask not what the 'ballpark range is on what people are offering'. Instead focus on what the TERMINAL POTENTIAL is.
Second, get rid of the 'salary' mindset. You are the one who should eventually be owning the shop and paying yourself. Your goal should be the coefficient of 1.

Unless you're in a specialty like heme-onc, where that coefficient is usually greater than 1 (ie, your health system pays you more than you could generate based on your CPTs alone) because of downstream revenue

What is the downstream revenue that is generated by hemeoncs?

What do you mean exactly by terminal potential?
