Anonymous peers helping peers level up - I don't know if it gets better than that. Thanks to everyone who's shared and paid it forward.

Anthony B.

MD Plastic Surgery

This is an incredibly valuable resource for physicians navigating the opaque and confusing process of compensation & contract negotiations.

John B.

MD Family Medicine

Great idea and long overdue. We need to start putting our minds together and stop letting so many people get lowballed.

John C.

MD Psychiatrist

How do I donate money to help support this project? This is incredible, and the fact it's crowdsourced and solely for actual providers is amazing

Kelly B.

MD Family Medicine

When I was an employed physician straight out of fellowship, I found out I was making 65% of my peers. I wish I had Marit then, and I'm glad it's here now.

Thomas B.

MD Anesthesiology
