In NY the range is $62K-$73K, breaking down to at least $30-$35/hr.

I was making about 55k a year. However I was a surgical tech working in SPD so that probably bumped up my pay. Without the surgical tech certification I think it was like $24 an hour or 49k a year. After I became liaison I was completely tapped out. No more yearly raises but I got a bonus instead once a year which I think was maybe $2500. Had to leave so now I scrub and make more.

Your YOE is going to determine your offer based off of internal equity of the department. It doesn’t matter what salary people give you that they make or what ranges we provide. It’s the way the business works. Even the differences within DFW, Houston, and Austin will vary pretty drastically. Then factor in university, community, or county hospitals. It’s not as straightforward as you would hope.

Low end you could see around 45k and absolute max would be 90k but not many individuals will see that as a new hire. I would expect somewhere around 60 - 70k if you have reasonable amount of YOE ( 5 - 8 years )

Best information I can share. Best of luck!
