Is My Urology Offer Fair?
Updated | Reports through | 89 approved attending reports
Short answer
A urology offer can be compared with what urologists report. Across 89 approved attending reports on SalaryDr, the median total compensation is $600,000 and the middle half falls between $560,000 and $695,000 (80% between $500,000 and $900,000). An offer below the 25th percentile sits in the bottom quarter of reports; one above the 75th sits in the top quarter.
This is a comparison with peer reports, not a verdict on your offer. Location, call, productivity terms and benefits all change what a fair number is.
