Question: I’ve been a practice manager at a small office for a few years. I’m hoping to move on to a bigger office with more challenging day-to-day opportunities. What should I expect to look for, in terms of a fair salary? Georgia Subscriber Answer: Salaries are, of course, very dependent upon where you live, as well as your experience level. However, there are salary trends for practice managers, including a general range of approximately $44,000 a year to $84,000 a year, according to the website Payscale; the median salary is $60,068. If you’re hoping to make more than you do now, be brutally honest about your ideal salary when asked or when negotiating. Although employers often ask about your current or previous salary, keep in mind that doing so is actually illegal in some cities and states; look up your local and state laws to see whether such a question is legal.
