056: The Weird World of Vet Compensation
Description
Veterinarian pay structures can be surprisingly complex — and sometimes, just plain weird. We’re breaking down the most common ways vets get paid, the misconceptions many have about their own compensation, and the hidden pitfalls in different pay structures. Learn about ProSal, production-based pay, and other models and how each impacts your income. If you’re navigating a new contract or trying to make sense of your paycheck, this conversation will give you fresh insights and might even help you earn more.
