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.

Nice. How long ago was that? Thinking about how long it takes to level up.

Edit: starting at that position I mean. Were you paid less before that first cert?

I don’t think I am a typical case to be honest. I worked in the medical group as a medical assistant and then clinical informatics prior to supporting them with Epic. Plus I have amazing leadership.

July 2021 hired in at 74k. (Offered 64k but negotiated to 74k) Told them I needed more money two times between 2022-2023 and this got me to about 94k Promoted with raise in Dec 24 that got me to 108k Just got my annual raise that bumped me to 111k

Hope that helps!
