The offer guide

Read your offer with confidence

Two offers with the same salary can feel very different once you look at billable hours, caseload, supervision, and contract terms. The guide walks you through each part and ends with a checklist for comparing offers side by side.

General information to help you ask better questions. It is not legal or financial advice.

  • Compensation
    How you are paid, and what happens if you leave early
  • Billable hours
    The target, how it is measured, and what is paid time
  • Caseload and support
    Mentorship, supervision duties, and your growth path
  • Benefits
    Coverage, time off, CEUs, and where it is all written down
  • The fine print
    Commitments, non-competes, and terms that can change

TYGES First

Talk to a recruiter first

Before you apply directly to a clinic, talk with a TYGES recruiter. You keep every option open and see roles side by side with the numbers that matter.

  • Free for candidates
    Employers pay the fee. Candidates pay nothing.
  • Compare several roles at once
    Billables, pay ranges, and benefits, so you interview only where the numbers work.
  • Order matters
    If you apply directly first, a recruiter may not be able to represent you for that role.
