Wall of Love from Women in Medicine
Real stories from women using Marit every day to advocate for themselves and get paid fairly
Featured Story
"Thank you for your work bringing Marit to healthcare. I was an employed physician straight out of fellowship and coming up on my 2nd year contract renegotiation. I hired a career coach and everything, but my sub-specialty made broad, and pricy, tools like MGMA useless. Finally (with some coaching) I asked my colleagues to share their base salaries if they felt comfortable, and all of them did. I found out I was making 65% of my peers and that single experience helped define how I advocate for myself and make sure I am valued. I wish I had Marit then, and I am glad it's here now. Outstanding work, looking forward to everything you'll do and would love to be a part of it in any way!"
What happens when women know their worth
Hear from a handful of the hundreds of women using Marit everyday to get paid fairly
"As a women trainee renegotiating my base pay and unable to access and unwilling/can't afford to pay for gatekeeping databases, this resource is very helpful...Thank you to those who developed this site!"
"I have told female residents for years the only way to get a good salary is to tell anyone and everyone what you make and the offers you are getting. I will let folks know about Marit."
"Love the site. It's so good to see honest feedback regarding a true market salary for various specialties, experience and geography. Thank you for this invaluable service!"
"I love Marit! It's really helpful and first of its kind for this kind of transparency."
"I'm a family nurse practitioner and there is very little accessible data out there! Thanks for this amazing product!"

"I fully support the concept behind Marit and only wish this could have happened sooner. We have gone through rounds and rounds of compensation meetings with paid consulting groups who cite MGMA data as well as "market data" from local hospitals that are just blatantly wrong. I fully support your efforts and have emailed every trusted physician colleague in my contact list. I hope this takes off and as you continue to grow you will keep this a free service that helps empower physicians."
"I found your salary survey valuable and supportive of my position. I have been in practice for 4 years. A recruiter contacted me and said the was a very good opportunity in town. I informed them of my min. She sent the info over and it was $20k below my minimum to accept. I found Marit and sent the information over to recruiter to support my position on compensation. Thus far, she hasn't contacted me back. I think she found out that the employer will need to rethink their compensation. They won't be able to recruit a quality candidate."
"I think it is a phenomenal idea and resource, and I will be sharing it with all my current and future classmates. Thank you for your ingenuity and care in creating such a resource."
"Great idea and initiative. I've invited some colleagues to contribute already."
"Very cool idea behind the site!!! Thanks for your work increasing transparency!"
"Being able to view salary data has significantly impacted my (applying Peds) and my partner's (applying IM) outlook on career choices. Thank you so so much for this!!"
"Thanks again for making this project available. I found it super interesting and helpful to think about as I was looking for jobs and there are few resources available to get a true idea to compare salaries. I think transparency makes for much better information and negotiation for all of us. I truly appreciate what you have been doing."

Salary transparency is the first step toward closing the gender pay gap. Sharing pay openly exposes gender disparities and ensures women know their worth - and can negotiate for fair compensation.
