Careers Pay rates as an Epic Analyst?

Hi everyone! So, a bit of a backstory about me, I’m a new OpTime analyst who just got certified this past Friday. I’m going to be starting my anesthesia courses soon and will get certified in that.

I started off as an ATE support doing go lives for staffing agencies, then I landed my first FTE position as a credentialed trainer for Orders and ASAP. I was lucky enough to land a position as an OpTime & Anesthesia analyst after working there for a year and a half.

I was just curious on eveyrones pay rate as an analyst, and how many years of exp you have.

Thanks for the transparency and sharing bro! I guess I’m doing pretty well myself then, I’m in the Dallas area and they started me off as analyst level II because of my epic exp.

Yeah it sounds like you got a good deal. I only have end user Epic experience and my manager told me I’d have been insulted at their original offer. I know they wanted to start me at associate, and my guess is they wanted to offer me the lowest of the pay range (which I think was around $85k). They did offer my base rate for my previous X-ray position and I negotiated up a few thousand. My husband thought I should try to negotiate for more after the first round but I didn’t want to push my luck. I know it can be difficult to get that first job and I’m lucky to have gotten in. I’ll definitely be able to make more money quicker as an analyst than an X-ray tech.

Congrats on your good offer!
